All these figures are hypothetical:
Windows XP takes 500mhz or (500 work cycles) to load in 30 seconds.
So theoritically can't a P3 at 700mhz and an AMD64 3000+ load windows XP in the same time? The only difference that the AMD can play games like Far Cry and the old P3 wouldn't be able to.
The reason why I think this this is true, because I recently upgraded from a P3 700mhz to an AMD 3000+, and I found the boot times very similar.
Does this hypothesis make any sense?
