Kryotech SuperG Athlon 1000MHz

DesignReview (DRV-06) Viewset

Taken from http://www.spec.org/gpc/opc.static/drv.htm

DesignReview is a 3D computer model review package specifically tailored for plant design models consisting of piping, equipment and structural elements such as I-beams, HVAC ducting, and electrical raceways. It allows flexible viewing and manipulation of the model for helping the design team visually track progress, identify interferences, locate components, and facilitate project approvals by presenting clear presentations that technical and non-technical audiences can understand. There are 6 tests specified by the viewset that represent the most common operations performed by DesignReview.

While the SuperG is definitely faster than the air-cooled Athlons (obviously), it seems to be beat by the Pentium III as a result of its faster L2 cache (2X as fast with the Pentium III 800) and SIMD FP instructions provided for by the P3's SSE enhancements.

It all depends on your usage patterns when dealing with professional applications, and if this viewset is representative of the tasks you normally use your system for then the SuperG may not be a wise investment.
