Ok Vince, time for an comparison!

I just ordered 2 Athlon 1.4Ghz Ayhja processors, 1028MB DDR 2100 RAM, and a Tyan
S2460 (Tiger MP) mobo.  I also plan on getting (locally) a 460W PS.  I have an
Acer case that I've been using forever, that I plan to stuff all this in.  It's
a server case, with 5 5.25 bays, and 4 3.25 bays.  It has room for a _LOT_ of
fans, and a lot of everything.

We'll see if my AMD experience is better or worse than yours.  Also, we'll see
if these 1.4Ghz Ayhja processors work with this Tyan board.

I will compare the benchmarks from my dual PIV Xeon 1.7Ghz and this dual AMD
1.4Ghz machine.  By all accounts, if your 1.2Ghz MP is faster than the PIV Xeon
systems, mine should be too.  However, on Crafty I get about 1.39M nodes a
second (on the bench test) and Michel reported around 1.4M also.  Whichever is
fastest, I will keep, and sell the other.

Should be interesting!
