Quoth Niall Smart on Mon, 29 June: : : Yes, but benchmarks at tomshardware.com have already established : that the 100Mhz memory bus offers little improvement over the 66Mhz : bus on a PII. Kinda sad, to be squabbling about the tiny differences between PII/PPro, when G3, Alpha, and UltraSparc systems are whipping the '86s by much more substantial margins. What's SpecInt95/SpecFP95 on a 450MHz G3, anyhow? I know USparc IIi is more than twice as fast as a PII on my FP kernels. Can you get Alphas from Samsung yet? That should be a commodity-pricing watershed event, when it occurs. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
