You can also screen cap the pic using ALT PRNTSCRN. Paste to Paint, or open up PaintShop Pro....save as jpg, or gif....png as I like to.

Here's the math you guys wanted.




@brobear....hey, no fair throwing in 64bit CPUs!! :)


So tell me, if a customer came to you....and asked you to build them a 2Ghz system...what would you build them? Give this customer the best bang for their buck.

That's an antique 32 bit system. ;)



If you notice, it matches the Current CPU in the Sandra Item window. That's how you show the bench matches the CPU-Z screen.

Post em up so we can see your improvements. If you use the right software, you can even do the entire Item listing of the benchmark info. Here's what the old Northwood info looks like, benchmark results, specs and all. ;)



I paid a bit closer attention to the processor you have. There's a noticable difference between the Athlon 3000+ and the Athlon XP 3000+. Here's what AMD had to say about it when it came out in 'O3:

Quote:

---

The AMD Athlon XP processor 3000+ features 640KB of total on-chip cache memory ? an increase of nearly 70 percent over previous AMD Athlon XP processors and the highest amount of on-chip cache memory of any desktop PC processor. Increased cache memory allows more information to be stored closer to the processor, leading to greater performance on software applications such as digital content creation, 3-D gaming, media encoding and office productivity.

---

AMD's initial Athlon 3000+ was supposed to be the comparable CPU to the 3GHz Intel. With the added cache memory, I wonder just how much + the XP was over the 3GHz Intel in comparison. It had a hefty price tag 2 years ago as well. At the time it was selling for $588 to dealers in lots of 1000.
