Re: "In this Intel benchmark a 1.2 GHz Athlon MP is nearly five times as fast as an Athlon 1.2 GHz. And guess what, it even beats the 1.7 GHz Pentium 4"

That suite of tests used a Tyan DUAL AthWiper CPU motherboard to test against two Intel based motherboards - both SINGLE CPU (Pentium 4 and Pentium 3).

However, I couldn't tell from the text if TWO AthWIper CPUS were used in that TYAN motherboard - or just one.

If it was 2-against-1, the test results may be "less meaningful".

Can you clarify this?
