The 3200+ is supposed to be a PR (Performance rating) and that means that this processor is supposed to work as good as a > 3200 MHz processor. What AMD uses for benchmarking this .. your guess is as good as mine. > > I don't know why there's a difference in the speeds -- are you using > any 64-bit optimised code on your machine?

And in any case those two processors are architecturally (did I spell that right ?) different. Installing 64 bit debian on the AMD64 would give you different results, though. -- Sharninder ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
