Doesn't all this also depend on the software in question, how well it has been optimized for a certain platform? For example, encoding mpeg4 with mplayer's mencoder on my PC164 EV56 500MHz does ~2fps, same framerate I had with a PentiumII 333MHz (or was it 233MHz). Duron 900 with slow SiS chipset and PC133 RAM can do ~20fps or more. -jake -- Jarkko Santala <jake@iki.fi> http://www.iki.fi/~jake/ System Administrator 2001:670:83:f08::/64 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
