Please let's not start a religious war about processors.
For your info, rackspace (One of the biggest PC renting farm on the net) uses
only AMD and they never burned a processor.
And there are other farms using P3/P4 that work fine.
Isaac tell us that a 100$ prcessor from AMD is fine, I think I remember that a
P4 2000 is OK.
What might be interesting to know is what EXCATLY impacts overall speed ?
Disk IO speed/ RAM bandwith / Amount of ram / PCI tuning / ...
I have a nForce system with 2x256 MB 233Mhz DDR, A 7200 RPM HD and don't get
close to Isaac's results... Maybe it's the PCI tuning, or RAM latency
settings...
