Default NEC and computer speed

It would be interesting to compare computation speeds of various
computers for the same antenna. One possible antenna to use for
comparison is The Grid Yagi from my website:

My three year old Dell with a Pentium 4 2.8GHz with HT and 3GB DDR of
RAM at 400MHz using the Nec2dXS*.exe calculating machine gives:
- - - MATRIX TIMING - - -FILL= 12.469 SEC., FACTOR= 11.422 SEC.
I'm interested to see how this compares to more modern computers.

Ross W1HBQ


FILL= 14.641 SEC., FACTOR= 16.734 SEC., RUN TIME = 31.641

On a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4, single processor 512 Mb, Windows 2000, and Yes,
a Dell.
