Pardon me, I should have looked more carefully. > It would be nice if you could send me the results of benchmarks (if > permitted by your employer). Yes, I have a plan to benchmark it to see if it improves my scientific numerical calculation programs. Your comment below is encouraging, since they are CPU intensive floating point and integer calculations that I assume are quite suitable for parallel execution. This is also a memory intesive calculation so I am planning to check out which is the bottle neck (and to help this I happen to have i845, i850, i845G, and also MPX760 Athlones :-) ) > Don't expect the multithreading to have a significant positive impact.
