Of course, rendering complex scenes that take over an hour give more precise measurements. But I dno't have the patience for that. Tommies seems to be OK for a decent indication. My results on Tommies (Vue4Pro 4.53-02):
P4 2.8 HTT enabled, FSB800, 1.5 Gb DDR400 Dual Channel, ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128 Mb, Intel 865G chipset: 3'22"
Athlon XP 2700+, 1 Gb DDR333 (Kingston, fastest timings), Geforce Ti4200 128 Mb, Via KT400: 3'24"
Both systems run WinXP Pro SP2.
I think render speeds depend both on processor type (Athlon being faster than P4, due to that pipelining issue) and memory speed. My systems appear to be roughly equal in render speed (and the Athlon system is a full year older than the P4 system. Go figure!)
