I'm putting together another FreeBSD system and am trying to determine whether a Pentium Pro is worth the extra expense.. I would appreciate any pointers to meaningful benchmarks on the relative performance of the Pentium 133 and Pentium 166 vs. the Pentium Pro 200 and Pentium Pro 180 under FreeBSD. The system will be used primarily for program development, i.e., lots of compiling. I'd also be interested in any comments, good or bad, on the Intel Venus and the ASUS P/I-XP6NP5, as well as the vendors Aberdeen and NetExpress. Thanks, William Maddox maddox@cs.berkeley.edu
