You're assuming the use of Windows; I'm speaking more in general
terms.

Running HPL on a modern x86 processor tends to
disagree with you
(though
on the recent 6+ core chips, memory wait can be significant if
you're
pushing all the cores).
You work in a supercomputer environment...you're running far more
modern
stuff than most of the rest of the world. I'm talking about the
HT/Replay chips. Think 2.4GHz 32-bit Pentiums. Those are the boxes
that
I see everywhere.
