Just a side note, the old Xeons w/ big cache perform exceptionally
well with Seti@home, which runs better if 512KB or better more fast
cache is available (below 512KB the size of the L2 doesn't matter very
much). Even the normal PIII Katmai is faster than the PIII Coppermine
with Seti@home. Simple cache size matters here.
