Hi Jong,

you should look at http://www.tabsnet.com/benchmark/pbench.php3.
The fastest P4 (1.7 GHz) has about the same power as a 1.1 GHz Athlon in
this pov benchmark.
A 1.4 GHz P4 runs Pov-Ray about 47 % faster than a 650 MHz Coppermine with
the orriginal 3.1g-version. So your personal P4 seems to be quite slow even
for a P4.

Beside my own 1.4 GHz Athlon runs 58 % (!) faster than a P4 with the same
frequency according to the published data.
