Looking at the results of these benchmarks I am very disappointed. I was about to splash out for an upgrade from my own existing PB 800Mhz to the 1.67Ghz model but looking at the results I am not sure if it is worth it? I was kinda hoping that double the clock speed (and buss speeds etc) would lead to double the performance. I have to use VPC 7.01 quite extensively and was hoping to boost the performance significantly if I am only going to see a 20% performance improvement its not worth it. Any thoughts from the folks here? Have I misread the benchmarks? Robin PS I also looked at the 1.5Ghz benchmarks posted
