P4s really do sux!

This relates to G@H crunching power:

I have an Athlon 1200@1350 at home that does a 71AA in 5 hours 30min.
At work, the P4 1500 that I have does the same 71AA in 7 hours 50min.

I knew TBirds were better, but not that much better - dang!

You could have asked me

Finally, you have seen the light! Pray with me Brother,

Oh God in AMD, Please let our saviour Jerry Sanders take our souls into his hands and give us devine computing.

Amen

I am already planning a new rig right now - dual AMD goodness. Not that my KK266@1350 needs an upgrade, but I feel like playing and having fun. Might be a few months though before I get after it. Still investigating the best approach and combo - thinking baout Dual Durons@1.2 for the time being.

Muhahahahahaha.....

PS: Wonder if my home rig would beat the two Dell Xeon workstations in my wife's lab at work. Need to look into that as well....

I've got 3 P4s, 2 2ghz and 1 1.5ghz. They're good at some things GIMPS and Ubero, but don't even come close to matching my TBirds in everything else.

Supposedly they're pretty good for SETI, too, though I haven't tested that myself...
