More than twice as fast as the other 2... And a tad faster than the PIII/733.

Duplicated these numbers w/in 1% or so. And I mean duplicated - ran two copies of the test simultaneously, maxing out both cpu's per the CPU-monitor bar display. No other apps running, not even top. Box has 1.2Gb of RAM, OSX 10.1.2.

So the total work done is about half that reported by Sodre (below) with a dual 1.2GHz Athlon. Did that run engage only a single CPU? What OS did it use?

The DP800's aren't the most cost-effective performance box. But with some work choosing and tweaking s/w they're useful, and by default are a lot more secure than most boxes.
