Thank you for taking the time to >post the results. Most chipset revisions make little difference in overall nps (unless there are major changes). I don't know anything about your chipset in particular, but are you sure it constitutes as a major change? The [Pentium 4] Xeon -is- a Pentium 4. The difference is that the Xeon can do SMP, and in some cases (not all?) the Xeon supports up to 64 GB of memory whereas all Intel desktop chips support at most 4 GB of memory. Disregarding SMP and chipset issues, a Xeon will produce numbers identical to the equally clocked Pentium 4. -Matt
