Hi Ross, I think this calculator is great thanks for putting so much time and effort into it. A couple of quick questions, 1st is about the megacycles example calculation, is the G5 used as the base because it is an industry standard or should we be using the base value found in the SPEC site for the server we are looking at? In the calculator it uses the DL 380 G5 x5470 3.33 GHz processor for a base of 18.75 but the processor in question is a x5550 at 2.65 Ghz. Should the DL380 always be used as the base value?
The second question I have is, when we work the megacycles numbers is the fact that a proc is hyper threaded already accounted for or can we safely boost our megacycle numbers by a factor of "X" i.e 1.5? Thanks again.
