It's stuffed in a Compaq Deskpro Micro-atx case if you can believe it.
Sandra 2001 CPU benchmark scores:
ALU - 2941
FPU - 1464
I thought this looked pretty good compared to the (lower) P4 1.5 scores in the benchmark comparison.
Has anyone else bumped up a P3 to P4 killing levels?

Uhmmm-----------=== Hehe
P4 1.5gig@1.8 (1.8 fab)
120fsb
256mb rdram Underclocked to 720mhz:( Need better ram it dont like 960mhz in the summer:( getting pc1066 next:)
ALU- 3369
FPU- 928/2201
Can get 133fsb easy by what temps and stability shows (idle temp. the same as stock and full load 7F hotter-ohh) though I need to do the wire trick on it since my mobo reverts to Northwood vcore at 133fsb jumper mode.... was told no wire trick for Williamettes but yet I found one.;)
P4's aint so bad-;)
P.S. all my games are sse and sse2 what about yours? Even Giants/ Jedi Knight II which this plays like its nothing. Same with my compiling stuff like Tmpeg inc. and etc. It flys! So my P4's 2201 is more usefull to me than your 1464 thats a dif of 737 points and not counting the built in video card optimisations in openGL and look at the ALU difference there!!! Lets not even get into multimedia, P4's way more powerfull there-play dvd's its got the stuff and then way more. Some people need to rethink about what fpu is- who cares about seti and other antiquated unoptimised outdated poorly coded **** in raw mode, my stuff is sse and so is most everything newer so who cares.:rolleyes: :t Not flaiming you but still cant see where this is suposed to matter?

Dude! Why would I think you're flaming me, we're usually on the rational side of the fence when it comes to dealing with AMD religious fervor:D
I think i've gotten more out of your emails about processor differences than I have out of the last four magazines I've read.
Now that I've got you all buffed up:p , I'm dying to take a run at your P4! The compaqs at work don't OC really well (only with Podien software), but the wife's P3 at home is a nasty little Abit based system that loves to o/c. I'll run some benchmarks on it and see how your P4 compares.:)
... speaking of P4s doing multimedia better, my loved one complains that even her super p3 doesn't play movies the way she'd like. A P4 is optimized to do this much better?
On another tangent, would it be way out to say that the P3 and the Athlon are much more similiar than the P4 and the P3 (or the P4 and the Athlon)? I'm thinking that based on what you're saying about P4 optimization vs. raw processing power (which seems to be an AMD trait).
Last question (promise), is the PCmark bench a better tool for seeing real world performance of a processor?

:rolleyes: heheh... AMD Duron 1.3 256 ddr
alu 3697
fpu 1769
no o/c.. no tweaks
hehe bout half the cost too. :p mmm and sse as well
