I do not want to sound like a commercial for a product or anything but I need to share with everyone my new found speed... I found a way to upgrade my aging P2 450 (old BX440 intel board) ... now running at 1.4 ghz! Weeeeeeeeee... sandra bench mark tests were as follows.
P2 450
Dhrystone ALU 1170 mips
Whetstone FPU 587 MFLOPS

new Tualatin 1400 mhz (celeron)
Dhrystone ALU 3832 mips
Whetstone FPU 1867 MFLOPS

this performance does indeed pour over into real world use... games I never could run b4 now fly...

In response to Fuzzy logic: yes there is a new AMD chip that will do what you are doing with the p4 but even faster. It is called the AMD Athlon 3000+ with Barton core. This new AMD chip runs at 2.2 Ghz but performs as if at 3.5 Ghz. This chip will run circles around a P4 and give the wimpy Intel chip a wedggie and a slap in the face. Check it out at www.amd.com

SiSandra and a host of other well known benchmarking applications will confirm that this new AMD will run 117% faster and better than the P4 at 3.06 ghz. And they are cheaper to.

Download Seti http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/download.html and process a work unit (screensaver turned off) and see what time you get. Would be interested to know

OK you got me beat BUT let me point out the following:
I am using a Duron processor, not a Athlon XP, and i only have 128 megs of DDR memory. I have been ruuning that program and it is 8 % done at 1 hour and 27 minutes.
I'm pretty sure if I had the Athlon XP 3000 w/barton and 512 DDR memory I would be able to beat ya.

Static sounds like a wining combo for you , Jake good luck with it, I hope it works for you also

It works, it is functional, it isn't going to cost you an arm and a leg, your learning something new and expanding you hardware abilities, and you'll be happy with it.

mm, can't seem to find anything negative in that, and no (never a) reason to pee on your (or anyone elses) paraid either.

kudos !!

Just checked it out, looks like it's a go if I can find my coffee can of money I buried in the backyard, or did I dream that?
