**** The tests were run on a 4GHz hyper-threaded system with 1GB of RAM, and tested Novell Linux Desktop 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, and Red Flag Linux. Each test case ran on 8GB virtual file-systems and were assigned either 384 or 512MB of RAM. ****
I question these specifications. The highest performing Intel Pentium4 sold is the 3.8ghz HT. Intel doesn't sell a 4ghz Processor.
Because of this I can only conclude the following:
#1: The developer is using an unreleased Pentium4 processor.
#2: The developer is using an Athlon X2 processor which have 4000+ perfomance ratings and that the author simply misunderstood HyperTheading for Dual Core and 4000+ for 4ghz.
#3: The developer has overclocked a processor and decided to not state that it was overclocked.
Could the author possibly confirm the actual system used?
