Re: Speed Survey Results

?   What speed does it run at then? This might depend on the software, if it's a massive Windows 98 kernel hack to share threads across both CPU's then it would depend on the programs running at the time. However benchmarks would probably show it being a Pentium III 800 as these I would expect run as a single thread. (typically a counting loop or some such).   If this program is trying to share single threads across each CPU then it would probably work more transparently to windows, however a massive performance gain could probably be achieved by running Windows NT or 2000 in this situation. (and of course running 2 setiathome processes at the same time - windows will (or at least should) put each one on a different CPU)   Andrew ----- Original Message ----- From: Phill Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 01, 2000 6:18 PM Subject: Re: Speed Survey Results It has some software that you install with it to enable it to work as 1 processor. However it does not run at 1600MHz as you may expect.
