I meant a Alpha 275Mhz compared to a P5-90... There are a few of those around here too, but it's kinda hard to get realistic number off them, as they're rather busy most of the time. > I know what you mean but memory is still limited to 256 megs or > less so there is no way you can have 1 gig of physical ram I think... On what? No reason why you can't have several GB of physical memory if you happen to want it. There may not be any Intel PCI chipsets that support it (yet), but there's no hard law-of-physics limit that applies there; there are certainly plenty of GB+ memory machines kicking around. > -Vince- vince@kbrown.oldcampus.yale.edu - GUS Mailing Lists Admin -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!
