I'm wondering about that, too. I just replaced a K6/233 with a K6-2/333 and got almost no performance increase. But the speed is reported correctly on bootup. I'm using a really old Conner drive, and I suspect that's the bottleneck. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
