    AMD 3200+

    I voted the 3100+... I think that using actual cycle speed of the AMD chips (obviously thus not taking performance capabilities per cycle into account) will cause your overall results to be skewed toward a lower performance than what is really being experienced by the voting crowd.

    Less then 1.5, but I have two machines. I voted the oldest slower one, which is my machine not the family one.

    Family one is 2.6. You can tell the difference for sure, but it is not as bad as you would think. Mine also has half the RAM 256.

    Both machines are used in a similar manner so the comparison is good one.

    Mine serves my needs. Will upgrade after Vista is out for a while.

    ROFL. Well under normal usage it will actually go almost 50 minutes. You are right about the heat. I refer to it as my alternate space heater. But it is a screaming machine when plugged in.

    Are you serious? :eek: You still uses prehistoric pc's? o_O o_O Maybe, Stephen Speilberg will be very interested bout it, your pc could be found in the Jurassic Park fossil stones..:D (just kidding..:D )

    Just curious...:rolleyes: ..Why is it that still you did not upgrade your pc into Pentium 4? o_O :cautious:

    Sentimental value? :D

    this forum is biased!
    i wasnt sure what to vote, so i didnt.

    mine is an AMD Turion Dual Core 1.8ghz Mobile Technology one, i dont know what it runs at, but it nearly doubled the score of my P4 3ghz pc on a cpu test.

    same here ;)


    because of course raw speed has rightly been dethroned as the definitive metric for performance. Theres the number of cores or processors, the architecture of how much work actually gets done per clock cycle, ect.

    At this point, it would probably be better to list by generation than clock speed. The latest Intel processors, and AMD processors for quite a while now, are less about clock speed than overall efficiency (as Ice_Czar noted). My Core 2 Duo E6600 runs at 2.4 Ghz, but it's much much faster than previous generation 2.4 Ghz processors. My AMD X2 4400+ Toledo, running at 2.21 Ghz, is at least a little easier to quantify. Granted this is a pretty old thread/poll.. perhaps a new one should be started, might make a good comparison :)

    I agree. I have two new machines.

    1 - AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 2.8 MHZ
    2- Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 Dual 2.93mhz cores.
