Hi,
I will run the xbench for 32bits when I get home tonite. Typically I run at 16 
or 32bits. 
About my benchmark figures , I was running fvwm95 and my ftp and web site
were open so in short the figures are not optimal. Nor my intention was
to show the fastest xbench rather the relatively quick performance of the
the X server. Is hard for me to post such high figures since I am an S3 fan 8)

	Enjoy,
	Amancio
