Having received my tax return 
I am planning to buy a new CPU and motherboard to replace the worn AMD Athlon 1800+ that I have used for almost three years.
Since the main use of this CPU will be working with DFS, I'd like to ask what CPUs do you use and what is their efficiency when working with large databases such as dfs.vmd. Here a couple benchmark examples for my current configuration:
Opening dfs.vmd - 16 s
Spiele > Torschützen > 2. Bundesliga + alle Mannschaften + alle Saisons - 37 s
Spielplan > prüfen ein - 27 s (for a 34 rounds season)
Spieler und Trainer verwalten - ALLE - 26 s
Dublietten Suchen > Spieler/Trainer - 22 s
Of course defragmentation is an issue with large DBs, but I have not defragmented the file so as to simulate typical conditions.
If you could run the above tests and state the results, I would have an idea of what I can gain by improving the CPU.
