celeron vs k6-2

[Seth Vidal]

Hi folks,
 I did some tests comparing a k6-2 500 vs a celeron 400 - on a raid5
system - found some interesting results

Raid5 write performance of the celeron is almost 50% better than the k6-2.

Is this b/c of mmx (as james manning suggested) or b/c of the FPU?

I used tiobench in sizes of > than 3X my memory size on both systems -
memory and drives of both systems were identical.


Thanks
