Dual Xeon 2.4 GHz to AMD X2 5200 upgrade?
Hello,
I am currently using a dual Xeon 2.4 GHz, with a Iwill DH800 motherboard. I have a chance to buy an HP desktop with an AMD X2 5200. Both units have 3 gigs ram. Assuming roughly the same video card will I see any increase in speed? I searched for benchmarks on the web but couldn't really find 2 that used the same tests to compare. If it helps I run Linux and use WinXP on occasion under Virtualbox. Thanks in advance, Steve |

If it helps I run Linux and use WinXP on occasion under Virtualbox. Thanks in advance, Steve The chances of finding those two processors, in the same chart, are pretty slim :-) ******* This is the nearest equivalent to your motherboard. http://support.asus.com.tw/cpusuppor...pc-dl%20deluxe I notice at least some of the processors have 512KB cache, so maybe they're similar to a Northwood. Note - you can actually run the this benchmark on your own machine, to refine the number for the Xeon. So you can do better than my first pick. http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/super_pi_mod-1.5.zip This is SuperPI 32M result for P4 2.4GHz, FSB533, 512KB L2. Compare to your own result. 1h 14min 1sec 80ms = 4441.08 seconds http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=801547 For the AMD processor, my first problem, is picking exactly the right one. For example, there is an Athlon X2 5200B running at 2.7GHz here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...icroprocessors This one is overclocked slightly, so the results will have to be scaled. So this is an approximation. Athlon 64 5200+ X2 ... @ 2860mhz SuperPi 32m - 28min 22sec 380ms = 1702.38 sec * 2860/2700 = 1803 sec http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=688533 Taking the ratio gives 4441 sec / 1803 sec = 2.46x That is a single threaded benchmark, comparing one core and its ability to complete the benchmark. If you don't like my picks, you can have a look around the hwbot.org site and pick two better examples. Paul |

Thanks Paul
I think I'll hold off and pay a little more. Steve |

Thanks.
I will wait a little longer and pay more to get a faster system. Steve |
