Hello all, Just joined the list this am. Have looked everywhere and can't find stats for dual PPro or PII kernels *other than* the established bogomip benchmarks. Is there something about PPro and PII chips that does not register on the bogomip measurement scale? We're looking at getting a dual P233 system or 3 and so far all bogomip estimates show there's no decent speed improvement if you jump to PPro or PII, but the cost is a lot higher, esp. for the mainboard. I am aware of the FAQ on general bogomip performance located here, among other places: http://hgatenl.hobby.nl/~clifton/bogomips-9.html and according to this, a quad processor system PPro200 gets the same as our current dual P200MMX !!! SMP4 Pentium Pro/200 796.28 John Pelan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The same with a dual PII -- exactly what our dual p200MMX gets !! SMP2 Pentium II/400 796.26 Michael Necaise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> And finally, the dual P233MMX is getting an amazing 900+ bogomips! SMP2 Pentium MMX/233 927.33 Jeff White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Can these be right/accurate? Does the MMX make all the difference? even theough the bogomips are lower, is real-world performance better with the PPro or the PII? If this has recently been covered, my apologies and if someone could just direct me to a page or report, that would be great. If I find info about this and the rest of the list would like it . . . let me know and I'll be happy to send it along.
