Well mine works fine, although I had to buy a new motherboard for it. I
had an ASUS board, too, now I'm using Iwill.
It is at least a 100% performance increase compared to my Pentium 90.
Then only stuff that does not improve so well is floating point stuff.
This is notable when decoding MP3's, for example.
My mpeg decoder used 46% CPU before, now it uses 26%.
Compiling things became *much* faster.
