I don't know what benchmark you're using, but if you send it to me I can benchmark it on my Pentium Pro 200MHz (actually overclocked to 233, so that might be cheating :-), running NetBSD 1.2. I also have a Cyrix 6x86 P166+, and can use a Pentium 133. All are running NetBSD 1.2. >Let me know what benchmarks you want to see.. I'll probably get around >to it sometime next week. I'm not picky -- I just don't have the one you're running. :-) The ones I've run in the past are pretty simple. I wouldn't mind seeing some more complex benchmarks. Suggestions from anyone? >preliminary reports from popping the K6 into my NT box is that it is >"da sh*t". I'll grab an OpenGL board and pound on it with softimage in >the mean time. Yeah, I've had the same thing to say about my Pentium Pro ever since I got it. For about a month, I would just mutter "Damn this thing is fast" every time I did something intense on it (I run NT on it most of the time). It plays a hellish game of Descent, too. :-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
