I know this has already been discussed to a certain extent but what were the final results? At what point is the P the bottleneck? The reason I am asking. . .I have a P4 2.26 as mentioned in my sig. . .would I benefit at all by going to a 2.8 or possibly 3.06 P4?

), and of course a Matrox Parhelia Retail Vid Card -
my experience has shown that the Parhelia is the bottleneck no matter what speed processor is used. to boot, my experience has shows it to be even more of a bottleneck when used in conjunction with a slower processor.
that being said, i honestly don't know if that "small" of a jump would give that much of a performance increase for the cost."And yet, after spending 20+ years trying to evolve the user interface into something better, what's the most powerful improvement Apple was able to make?

I guess what I meant was: "When does the P stop gaining performance?" So I would see ZERO change if I upgraded my CPU? Just wondering because obviously I wouldn't upgrade then

Fairly good I say.
Just got a new CPU.
3DMark03 doesn't increase almost at all.
But games FPS increases about 15%, which is pretty good considering the memory bandwidth is LOWERED.
was: p4 1.9@2.2, mem 314 cl2
is: p4 1.8@2.7, mem 300 cl2
EDIT:
actually, more than 15%, about 25% it is.P4 Northwood 1.8GHz@2.7GHz 1.65V Albatron PX845PEV Pro

Just ran my shiney new 3.06ghz Hyper-threading CPU up against 3dMark2001 and it scored only 8200 (8300 with Hyperthreading turned off) Just about the same as the 2.4 P4. nothing is overclocked, though so far I only have 256mb of DDR400 memory, since I was too poor to go for the 512mb, who knows if that would help more or not.

I'm going to go from a KT133/Duron 700MHz/G400 to an 746FX/AthlonXP 2GHz/Parhelia. I'm hoping for a decent increase in UT2003 smoothness.[size=1]D3/\/7YCR4CK3R

you will see a huge increase in UT2003. i noticed a massive difference in performance when using different speed processors on that game. very cpu bound."And yet, after spending 20+ years trying to evolve the user interface into something better, what's the most powerful improvement Apple was able to make?
