LinuxHardware is back with a second look at the Intel and AMD
1GHz processors, this time with a floating-point benchmark. This

The article’s more than just benchmarking, too. There are some
interesting tips on AGP drivers with NVidia cards and some thoughts
on the best way to use kernel compilation as a benchmark.
