I think you are right prof, Tinker WUs seem to be fairly close in frame times.. Less than 30 second difference in frame times on identical proteins on my systems right now. The memory intensive WUs seem to be much more in favor of the A64 architecture.

So then Large WUs?

And I am sure the ones that utailize SSE2 see a nice performance boost as well. The double gromacs.

p1477 seems to like cache (and the dothan has 2MB of it). The Abit KV-80 (Via chipset) setup is a 3200+ s754 1MB Clawhammer, running 200x10 2.5-3-3-8. MSI Neo2 (NF3) is a 3200+ s939 512kb Winchester running 240x10 2-2-2-5 DC...and it's only 17sec faster pr frame

Hmmm must be it. The XP-M is faster than a 1700+ I have at the same speed. The timings are off but the XP-M has the cache and is faster.

yeah an xp-m barton core is going to be hard to beat. And there are a few 35w models still hanging around but probably not for long.

I find this combo tempting:

Though I have no idea if the mobo supports mobiles
