Does anyone have a fritzmark comparing these two systems? >thanks Aaron posted some results with Atholon MPs recently. He sells overclocked but tested MP-Chips very cheap. From all posts I know the Xeons give 70% Chessperformance compared to Athlons at the same speed. So: Xeon 2,8 GHz equal Athlon@1,96 Ghz An MP2800+ has 2,133 Ghz = 3,05 Ghz Xeon or P4-Performacne. I would suggest to buy a Dual Athlon MP 2600+ since the 2600+ has the same Mhz and only a lesser L2-Cache. For chess a L2-Cache does not matter much, so an MP2600+ will be as fast as a MP2800+ (but cheaper). regards Joachim
