Thanks for the tip, Christoph
After that install was 'successful' but not the results.

I installed this on P4 with 768 MB RAM (ifort 11.1, MSVC9). This PC is just one
of many nodes I plan to use and others are similarly single CPU P4 with 1GB RAM

Running:
import numpy as np
A=np.ones((1000,1000))
B=np.ones((1000,1000))
%timeit np.dot(A, B)

In IPython, gives this results:

Cygwin/ATLAS   : 1 loops, best of 3: 843 ms per loop
Windows/ATLAS* : 1 loops, best of 3: 1.29 s per loop
Windows/MKL    : 1 loops, best of 3: 2.37 s per loop

*from offical binary installer


I then run np.test() (with MKL build numpy) and there were indeed errors :(

Now what? :)
