Dan, <<<What we hope is that there isn't too much overhead being introduced by the 82803AA memory repeater hubs.>>>

There is always overhead. You are never going to get something for nothing. But, I agree, sometimes overhead gets ridiculous. You can't trust engineers by themselves to give you better return on investment. They do what they deem cool - regardless of end result. Just because they are trained to do engineering stuff (and some with real talent) doesn't mean they have wisdom or even common sense. A lot of engineers prove this point every day on this thread.

Blow Hard Dan - Re: "Hey Paul - more clock throttling? "

Nope - applications that were written for multiple threads were run on a dual XEON set up - and were NOT RUN on a single XEON setup.

What you see in that report is a case of very poor benchmarking.
