The scope program when running on the desktop system running Windows 2000 (800MHz AMD processor,
256MB PC133 RAM, and Creative Labs 3D Blaster GeForce 3 Titanium 200 64MB 3D accelerator video
card) uses less than 2% of the CPU load. But when tested on a UUJ computer (lab: 6C49, computer: Intel
P4 1.5GHz, 256MB RAM, Windows 2000), it was shocking to note that the scope program was using 10% of
the CPU, that’s 5-times more than that of the 800Mhz desktop system even though its clock speed is almost
half the speed. OK AMD processors are faster than Intel’s (e.g. 800MHz AMD is equal to 1GHz Intel P4), but
not by this amount so something else much be making up the difference.
