I'm usually either at his house on the weekends, or he's over here... He finds a *lot* of weirdness lying around in some of these graphics cards... it can get kinda ridiculous. He's always got _the latest_ of everything to benchmark. I will pass along any suggestions you'd like to make. Although, they are really a Windows/DOS-centric operation (less DOS now, even.) Also, I could easily pass along any 'netbench' suggestions, but I don't know if they'll make it all the way. However, I think the answer will be that Xstone is the comparable benchmark for us to use... - Dave R. -
