My email is speedycpu@attbi.com. I have tested some dual machine.. all of the machines in my crafty list are single cpu. Again, here's the list http://speedycpu.dyndns.org/crafty/bench.html The P4-4Ghz was freon cooled to -40C, both XP ~2.5GHz's were air-cooled. When I get chance I'll contact my friend oppainter, he's got a freon-cooled AthlonXP at over 3.1GHz. I'll add my XP 2100+ @ 2.44Ghz result later on, just got it today... not too shabby for a $97 chip. :)
