SPECviewperf 6.1.2: MedMCAD
MedMCAD scales very linear. Higher clock speeds will accelerate your system noticeably. This time, the 133 MHz FSB of the new Athlons does not have such an impact.
SPECviewperf 6.1.2: ProCDRS
ProCDRS seems to be limited by the graphics card, as the performance gains decrease when increasing the clock speed. Getting an Athlon 1000 instead of the 800 MHz model is definitely a good idea. Taking the 1.2 GHz type instead of the 1.0 GHz will give you a smaller thrust.
