We are having our pc's upgraded at work. The current ones are about 3 years old. They have a 3.06GHz pentium 4 cpu running at 133Mhz x23 according to the bios. The replacement pcs are Hewlett Packard xw6400 Xeon 5140 machines and according to the blurb run at 2.3Ghz. I'm not at all up to speed with Intel chips these days so can someone assure me that this new pc will be faster than the old one in raw number crunching terms, when running single core apps? How much faster would it be ball park if it is faster.

It would be an improvement over my 2.4

I think the old pcs are earmarked for replacing even older pcs in the office soz. Thanks for the info though, looks like they will be an improvement. They are coming with 4 gig and quadro fx 3500 graphics cards too btw.
