SPECviewperf 6.1.2: Data Explorer 6

The Data Explorer highly benefits from the 133 MHz FSB speed of the Athlon-C. The difference between the 100 MHz Athlon models is quite negligible. It's once again rather recommendable to get a fast graphics card instead of a fast processor.

This benchmark is much more processor intensive than the preceding ones. Getting a fast processor will almost be equally good than obtaining a fast graphics card.
