Sorry, the memory on both systems was DDR, P4 was CL2.
As for the P4 being crippled, see the numbers from the previous protein, quite respectable vs 1700xp yes?( and I don't need a screamer fan and 10ton airconditioner to keep it cool).
Don't want to start a cpu war here just wanted to see if anyone else saw this or just my systems or if there was/is a problem.
It seems Jeff is seeing the same thing, only 50% increase with P4.
