Again, thanks to all of the programers that >make this hobby more enjoyable. Kevin Mulloy Hi, I do not have access personally to a Xeon, a tester does however. I do not have comparative performance measurements but from experience with the PPro I know that a large full speed L2 cache will help HIARCS. If I had to guess at the improvement I would say 15%, but I'll try and find out the real figure. Cheers, Mark Ps. You probably made the right choice as the Xeon machines are pretty expensive at present.
