That's because they are ripped at such a low level it's ridiculous. And the computer running the big router that I planned to replace with one of these is still much faster than any of the 525's I have now - and that computer is not to be considered fast. I installed one to my wife's office as a writers desk, it wasn't even useful for that. So they ended up in the basement as backup and file servers controlling a few disk cabinets. That, they do very well without bugging me.
When I bought them there was a long debate about their performance here at the list. With a few tweaks suggested from others I could get them running the thread test at 7000 for a short period of time and all of a sudden everything jumped up to a good 26 000, at its best I got one test run to stay at 15 000 without stressing it too much. After that I ran all the graphics on another computer and had it running pretty good (John's suggestion? don't remember). By then I was pretty tired of them and I left the idea of using them in the workshop. It seems there are good and bad versions of the 525. /S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
