That speed claim is consistent with my own experiments. In fact, there is a thread here about Linux which says that there is no longer even any discernable difference in crunching speed between WIN vs Linux because all the important loops in are now coded in assembly & every machine instruction in those loops is now the same on both platforms. I tried the quad with WIN2k but could not get it to run, but I cannot say it is impossible.Īs far as I can determine, the crunching speed is not discernably different on WIN-XP vs WIN2k. In the distant past I have run a dual cpu Intel Pentium Pro MP on WIN2k Pro. I presently have WIN2k Pro running an Athlon-64 dual core, so that will run. If it does, how fast will the machine crunch workunits compared to an identical one using Windows XP?
