original score = 946
5 times better *furiously punching in the numbers on the calc* = 4730

That's about the score you wud get on a A64...

For comparison, I'll include the score on my humble 2600+ mobile
:cool: 3954

Hehe... anyway.. a faster CPU would give me a better performing PC.. I wish to upgrade it in the near future.. not too fast, but maybe just a P4 2++GHz.. :D

It'll be a good upgrade m8... AMD and Intel are now pushing their newer chips like mad so i expect the prices of bartons and lower spec p4s to come down quite rapidly... There've been news that AMD will stop Athlon XP production late Q1 of 2005 and concentrate on their A64s. Not too sure bout Intel though :) Haven't been keeping up with intel news, except future nforce chipsets will feature Intel CPUs... i know... go figure?!?!?

crap, 4730 is really really close. i think i got something around 4800; though i think i may have had folding@home and seti@home running in the background :)

I was thinking to get a P4 3.0E GHz sometime next year or so... would these CPU be phased out by Intel by then?? :D
