Value of a 500 mhz machine approaching 0?
I have a copy of SQL Server Enterprise Edition by Processor running on a 6 way, 500MHZ machine. It's finally time to upgrade this machine, to a new box with 2ghz processors. Due to budget constraints we can only purchase a 4 way 2Ghz machine. I beleive a 4 way 2ghz machine is more powerful than a 6 way 500mhz

I have a 500MHz machine. Yeah it's old. Now, when I play Civ3 with 15 other opponents, on a huge map, eventually the wait between turns gets significantly high. I haven't timed it, but enough to make me lose my patience and quit. Probably like 5 minutes. Actually, I think a 3GHz will give more than a 6x ratio since

G400 on a Fast Machine
Even a 500 MHz CPU is fast enough to capture and edit DV. Where speed really becomes an issue is transcoding, as there is a linear relationship between transcode time and CPU speed. My old 1.4 GHz Athlon could transcode three times faster than my older 500 MHz machine. By way of comparison, doing a 2-pass VBR

I expect that, if you donate a 500MHz machine to each of those who have produced "200MHz" fixes, a solution will soon become available. Otherwise, you can fix it yourself, distribute the solution, and earn undying fame until the next Crt problem occurs. Or you can give adequate details.

Slow Boot Up After Ethernet Card Install
The M300 P3-500mhz machine is still limited to 320mb total. It has 64mb onboard (not on the CPU.

If it isn't that much more, I would get it,

If you serve a single threaded task to a dual Pentium III 500 MHz, it perform like a single Pentium III 500 MHz. If you serve a multithreaded task to it, it'll perform somewhere between 500 MHz and close to 1 GHz. SMP should only be considered when you can't get any faster with a single CPU machine, and if you need

Alpha 800 5/500
You'll note that, with these drivers and at 500+ MHz, there is a more noticeable speed hit at higher resolutions than we've seen in the recent past. I tested out the DVD software on the 400 MHz machine. The monitor output was the best I've seen to date. And unlike the Zoran software, it actually worked for me.

I've actually performed timings, comparing a 600MHz PWSAU running digital UNIX and the same binary running on a 500MHz 21164 Linux machine. Both had the same amount of cache, but the 500MHz machine had the older memory interface: it uses parity 60ns DRAM, not SDRAM. The binary ran the same task with these times:

In fact, I've aruged before that somewhere around 500 mhz, the computer is so fast, that the average home user, would never be able to tell the difference between a 500 mhz machine and one running twice as fast.

These figures mean nothing to me (don't have a Windows box), but if you can run WinBench on a Windows machine or find comparable figures somewhere, (And that's on a 500Mhz G3.) Why do you need VPC? What Windows software do you have to run? How much of your day are you going to spend in VPC?
