Hello!

Thanks for the good answers! I already knew that CPU architecture plays
a major role in the execution speed, but I did not expect them to be as
dramatic as in the case of the P4 and Athlon XP that I expected to be
quite similar.

Does anyone of you know any source where one can find a summary of the
different CPU types and the characteristics they havbe, especially from
a programmers' point of view? If I have to buy new computers for my
working group, how could I decide which bring the best performance for
our typical problems?
