Based on my experience the athlon64 2ghz is nearly 3 times faster for movei(I do not remember exact numbers at this moment) I also get more than 2 times speed improvement for other programs. I will check later exact speed difference to give better results. The AMD 1 ghz is only slightly faster than previous pentiumIII 800Mhz and PIII850 mhz that I used and it seems to me that there is no big difference between AMD 1 ghz and pentium1 ghz. Uri
