Here's a little teaser....

Here's a few Sandra shots. I guess I didn't save as many as I had first thought

Here's what Sandra says about the entire config. Note how off some of the numbers are:




Here's the CPU Info:




Memory Bandwidth: Note the Bandwidth efficiency




Here's the Cache and Memory bench:




One thing weird I did notice with these cpu's is how they're seemingly handing off workload to each other. If I don't set the affinity for a bench, say like Spi, the cpu's will randomly hand off the calculations one another every so often. It's quite odd and it also causes the bench to run slower. In all of the Sandra benchmarks I ran, it seemed that only the cache and memory bench from above gave the cpu's a consistent workload. With the other benches, the cpu usage was erratic and unpredictable. I guess it's a possibility I have a bad install of windows, but hopefully with some new HW, this will all be sorted out.....

Any advances fellas?
Have to fulfill my comparison quest in the meantime lol!
