P4 or AMD ?
I'm getting a new computer in a day or 2, so I want to know which one would be better, the 2.533 ghz p4 or the XP 2200+ ? both would come with at least a gig of RAM and a good solid motherboard.
This computer will be my main cruching and gaming system, so I'm wondering which one would be best for those 2? I'm only going to use it for other things once in a while. It'll be mainly for crunching and gaming like I said before.
I'm in a bit of a problem here.. I know the P4 has the speed and power to run whatever game I want, but I also want to have good performance in other things and that's where the AMD chip comes into play so PLS help me out here... which one would be the best?
btw I do have the money to afford the P4 so money is not an issue here. I simply just want the best one that suits me.
forgot to mention this.. the P4 will come with 1 gig of ram (rdram, maybe the one that's clocked at 1066mhz) and the amd chip would have DDR (don't know what speed)

I recently bought an AMD Setup myself: 2200+, Asus A7V333, and 512MB of 2700 DDR RAM.
I'm getting about 150K/24 hrs. on this most recent protein. It's royaly whipping my 2.2 Ghz machine from work's butt. I'm VERY Happy with it...
Just my 2 cents...

Hey Paratima,
Couple of questions for you
1-Where did you get V1.1 of the bench script and what's the difference from v1.0?
2-I have a 1700+ which gets 140000/day, shouldn't a 2200+ get more than 162000?(something like 170000-175000?). Just thinking of getting a 2200+ myself, but maybe other parts of the system start limiting performance( memory bandwidth?)
With my SIS745 (a7s333) running the memory at 333 was a little slower than 266 (1 to 1) probably caused by some extra waits to sync with cpu.

(1) Made a couple of purely cosmetic changes and just wanted to indicate that it wasn't original anymore. Mostly just put in the date/time.
(2) Literally "threw" that system together in under an hour. Talk about Plug & Play! I've had 0.00 hours free to tune it.
Yup, it will probably do 1.7M/day. As soon as my house-guests leave on Monday,and assuming my wife's "Honey-do" list hasn't grown, I'll start looking for a little quiet time to spend "fine-tuning". I'll post the new numbers when I get there. Of course, by then, we'll have a new protein, so we'll have to interpolate. Guess I'll do a comparison with my 1800+ boxen.

Thanks, I'll be interested in your results.
Funny thing how those lists never get smaller

just to throw a p4 onto the fire - have a p4 2.4 (running at 2.7 - not much of an o/c) and get around 200,000structures a day...
i would say athlons are bettter for crunching but the p4 is a lot smoother doing multitasking and brute strength processing (which is why i got mine)
