Hi.
I dumped my P4 2.4GHz for an Athlon XP last week, and all I can say is damn, does this thing suck. Great for games, but my folding output has dropped by a mad crazy 60% -- I was averaging 110-120points/day on the P4, now with this Barton piece of crap I'm getting 60 at best, 45 at worst.
Anyone else found this trend? I was under the impression Gromacs and Tinker were only optimised for AltiVec/SSE/3DNow+, and not Intel SSE2. I'm a bit p**sed, I'm getting overtaken by people I creamed 2 weeks back
