    yuck! WD Raptors: 150 (windows XP), 74(old windows, soon to be BSD), 36 (Linux) 10,000 rpm drives 500GB Sata II with 16mb Cache for big storage.... I use that 300gb for a backup device because it is too slow to be used for anything else. ;P:laugh:;P _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

      How many lines of code can you see at the same time? I guess at least one whole function at a time. :) jhaga --------------------------------- Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new. Henry David Thoreau, "Walden", 1854

          That doesn't help much with builds (AFAIK) as they are not multithreaded. (How about VS2005?) :suss:

              So he needs three threads for CP, and one for the build? :suss:

                A build-all takes about 20 minutes on my software using the intel compiler. Even though I have a few extra compiler flag options set, I doubt it will help you in a comparison, you aren't using my code. :) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                      compiling lenghty project: P IV 3GHz, 1GB RAM: 13min AMD XP2800+ (2GHz), 1GB RAM: 12 min Opteron 150 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM: 7min woot! (I'd like to see the times on an AMD64 system, though..) Could be reduced further by maybe 30% by shoving the temp files onto a RAM disk...

                      Well - I've compiled the same solution (18 projects) on my work desktop (3GHz P4, 1GB RAM, 7200RPM drive) and my laptop (AMD 64 3400+ (2.2GHz clock?), 1GB RAM, 7200RPM drive). My laptop consistently takes 2/3 of the time the desktop takes. So, for one project that takes 2 minutes to compile on my desktop, it takes 1min 20s to compile on my laptop. That performance difference is repeated over all the projects.... AMD64 rules - but I wouldn't mind seeing if an Opteron rules more :-)

                          Also has custom resolutions, which gets what you want just right.
