Okay - my friend does a lot of video encoding, and right now he is using a crappy old Dell with a 600Mhz processor, 128MB SDRAM and Windows 98. Encoding a 700MB file takes about four hours.
I know Intel are superior to AMD when it comes to video encoding, so if my friend were to build a new pc with:
Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 3Ghz, overclocked somewhere between 3.2Ghz - 3.8Ghz.
512MB PC3200 DDRAM
Windows XP Home
With this new spec, how long would it take to encode a 700MB file? (Compared to the Dell's four hours.)
