I wonder why with such agreat chip as touted by Dothan and Intelia we have not seen any P-D's or Oc'd Dothans competing in this....I wonder why???
LOL, I did post the results from my overclocked dothan, at 2.4ghz it was 8 minutes slower than using a single core of my X2 @2.475ghz, not as bad as I expected, but also have half the memory and a slightly slower hard drive in the Dothan system as well.
I installed my raptors in raid-0 in the X2 system now. Sustained read is about 70mb/s compared to about 55mb/s with my single drive, so if there was some I/O limitation, it should have slightly higher CPU utilization. I'll post back again later today, gonna get it running and then go to sleep. Compressibility test is at 68-72% cpu usage, duration 2m 36s 81.92 FPS.
