Well to be fair the P4's are all 800FSB, using PC400 ram. Compared to the mp2400's
which only run PC2100 ram, and the fsb is 266.
Both CPU's are being used, and on my original test both cpu's were at 100% on the dual.
I agree that 2 single chip systems compared to a dual, will generally bring more
performance (in my case a p4 3ghz and a p4 2.8ghz), but at the moment i have my p4
3ghz outperforming my dual by nearly double in terms of cpu usage. Which just seems
odd. I will be doing some more testing this evening to get the p4 under really heavy
load and see how the ingame playability differs between the dual and the p4. I will be
attempting to get 60+ people on the p4 this eve spread over some big servers, ill
report back the results.
The 2400's are thoroughbred.

We need to get back to the original focus of this thread. Was the
chipset on the amd boards specified?
It wouldn't be fair if you were comparing a P4 with DDR 333 to an Athlon
mp with DDR 233, would it? I'm just saying that there are other parts
of the machine to consider besides the processor speed.
Also...2 single processor machines are superior to 1 dual processor
machine in overall cpu usage. Mapchange, however, is a different story.
This may sound silly, but have you verified that both cpus are being
used by the operating system by looking for two processors in the task
manager?
I am not loyal to either brand. I have both brands of chips and I
realize that both intel and amd have made some good and some bad ones.
Are your 2400's thoroughbred or barton cores?

Each process will only run on separate CPU if you set the apps processor
affinity.

Yes, meaning they will run on such a system. But each HLDS instance will
only run on one processor.
