HI all members,

I have a celeron D 2.4 GHz. recently i did a md5sum check on a knoppix live cd download (700 MB approx) and i got the "blinking cursor" for what i thought was a long time so i thought something was wrong and pressed "enter" twice. after about 30 seconds the results of the check came through fine.

out of curiosity i did the check again and timed it. it came to 2mts.50 secs.

my question is (1)if the processor was p4 2.4 GHZ instead of celeron would the results have come out faster? on a side note would a 3.0 GHz processor been faster.

TIA and good day---Venkat
