Grimmy, Thanks for your response. I had read that review, but I was disappointed because there were no direct becnhmark comparisons with Opteron. The link to the discussion thread was helpful though.

They appear to have their hands on silicon based on their Woodcrest article from 6/26. Given this is a highly anticipated review, why would they be holding it back for so long? Maybe I missed something. I've been checking the forums since the 26th and I haven't seen much except AMD vs. Intel...

Details are here http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/2003/06/23/keynote/ Looks like a decent machine. Sounds more like an Opteron/A64 than a p4c killer. I would like to see some SPEC benchmarks. A 1 GHz FSB should really help it.

I am an assistant professor in statistics, so I need that for my research. My areas are wavelets, time-frequency analysis (this is where is use the 3-D matrices), and bioinformatics. The data matrices are as large as 33000x30 in some of my bioinformatics work.

My heavy task(s) are MATLAB computations on large (2048*2048*10) 3-D matrices and interative procedures in S-Plus. My secondary tasks are running LaTeX, SAS, surfing, etc. I will go with the dual 3.06. I figured that was what everyone would tell me anyway :) I just didn't know if the P4 "c"...

I do some relatively heavy computations on my current computer (AMD 1800+) and most of the time it is under full load for 12-24 hrs straight. I have 1 GB of RAM, but most of the computations aren't RAM hogs. My current system is very responsive even under full load. I surf the net, burn CDs...

I thought the P4 3.2 GHz chip was supposed to be released yesterday. Anyone know when this is going to happen? Thanks!

Does anyone know when Intel is scheduled to release a 800MHz FSB Xeon? I assume that it will use Springdale, rather than Canterwood, chipset. Rumor is the Canterwood P4 will be released around April 17th, and the Springdale about a month later. How long will it take to see a Xeon version of...

I know some people have used an XP in a MP board, but how about the reverse? I have a Gigabyte 7DXR, and I was wondering if a 2000+ MP would work? The reason I would buy a MP rather than an XP is bc I will probably get a dual board next year and wanted a chip that would be compatible. Also, the...
