Hi Folks,

I'm sure for some of you this is so simple that you can do it with your eyes closed. But I see myself needing some input concerning this issue.

I'm trying to determine if I gain anything by going from a P4 system to a 64bit system. Based on /proc/cpuinfo for both systems here, bogomips don't seem to be that much different 4300 to 4700. By the way, can I trust the bogomips value to be accurate. The system is needed for a floating point intensive application. I suppose, I would see some improvement if I went from a P3 to P4 or 64bit, wouldn't I?

And another question, is there some tools out there that I can use to run on the systems to get a more accurate comparison?

Thanks for your time.

Raf.
