You have to compare actual results to determine that kind of number, you can't extrapolate from lower speed grades. >And remember, Intel announced the P4 2.53Ghz today. > >I had the oppurtunity to "play" on a P4 2.4Ghz machine this weekend, and I am >sorry to report, Pentium is winning.

It uses approximately 0% of my CPU time. No way any processor can make this go faster. > music, Ditto for music. Winamp playing here uses 2% or less of my CPU. Some other processor can't make it go faster. >videos, these P4 are a LOT faster than my XP2100+. Again, the same. Playing any kind of video here takes at most 15% of the CPU time. A faster processor won't make this any more "productive". >And yes, the 2.4Ghz benches Crafty bout 8% faster than my 1.73Ghz. See my other post about this.
