Here's my output on a Gateway 700XL, 2.2GHz Pentium 4, 1024MB RAM,
Windows XP Home.  My clockspeed is considerably faster but the benchmark
isn't, so I suspect AMD and Linux are on your side!  I've been thinking
about moving to Linux, and this makes me think even more.

Hi,

Does anybody have Benchmarks for Mathematica 4.2 to share?

If possible the same or similar machine and different OSes.
I want to see how fast/slow the Linux version is compared
to the Windows version.

I tried 
http://www2.staff.fh-vorarlberg.ac.at/~ku/karl/timings40.html
on a 1600 AMD Linux box with 512MB of RAM and got a
value of 6.4.

---more details--
"Times     = "\[InvisibleSpace]{1.18, 1.14, 1.08, 0.55, 1.18, 2.48,
0.74,
    0.79, 0.41, 0.11, 0.38, 0.96, 0.97, 1.26, 1.11}

"Total Kernel Time = "\[InvisibleSpace]14.34\[InvisibleSpace]",  Total
Time = \
"\[InvisibleSpace]17.

"Benchmark = "\[InvisibleSpace]6.40784
------------------------------------------------
I would like to see how Mathematica 4.2 improved in speed
compared to Mathematica 4 or 3.

Thanks a lot,
   Armin
