Yep, I first realised after encoding a newly bought CD into mp3's.
So then I downloaded Sisoft Sandra and did some benchmarks.
First some details on the two computers.
The older comp is a one of those mini setups, a Soltek Qbic.
The same as this.

It has a P4 2.8GHz (Northwood), 1GB RAM (2 x dual channel DDR400) and
an ATI 9600 Pro. Mothorboard model is SL-B8E-F and uses the Intel 865G
chipset.
The newer comp is based around an Asus P5GDC-V.
CPU is a P4 3.2GHz (Prescott 640), 1GB RAM (2 x dual channel
DDR2) and video card is an ATI 800XL.
Some Sandra benchmarks...
CPU arithmetic benchmark.
Older comp - dhrystone = 8430
whetstone fpu = 3535
whetsone iSSE2 = 6202
New comp - dhrystone = 5176
whetstone fpu = 3440
whetsone iSSE2 = 3786

CPU multimedia benchmark.
Older comp - Integer = 21487
Float = 30684
New comp - Integer = 19046
Float = 18869

Memory bandwidth.
Older comp - RAM bandwidth Int Buff - 4271
- RAM bandwidth float buff - 4271
New comp - RAM bandwidth Int Buff - 4873
- RAM bandwidth float buff - 4887

Cache and memory benchmark.
Older comp - Speed factor = 13.2
New comp - Speed facotr = 8.2

As you can see, the CPU benchmarks slower. I really can't understand
it. Might I have gone wrong somewhere?
