Here are some 18.11 results I have from back in the day: CPU type Nodes/sec AthlonXP 2.52GHz 1,578,197 AthlonXP 2.2GHz 1,370,541 Pentium 4 3.25GHz 1,335,397 AthlonXP 1.86GHz 1,197,253 Tbird 1.68GHz 1,041,610 Pentium 4 2.47GHz 992,009 Athlon Tbird 1.3GHz 760,299 Pentium 4 1.7GHz 687,406 Celeron (P3) 1GHz 575,475 Pentium 4 1.5GHz 569,185 Even the old P3 cored Celeron 1GHz is faster than a P4-1.5GHz. IMO P4 is a waste of money. Runs hotter, is slower, and to get a CPU that comes close to my $50 chip (1.73 @ 2.5ghz) you'd need to pay $1000. THEN you'd have to overclock that $1000 chip and it would now dump close to 200 watts. Then you get to pay $200+ for a cooling system for it. ZZZzzz....
