David (you knew that I was going to reply to that 🙂 I can't understand how you can feel that a 8100/110 to be slower than your 486/66. There has to be something wrong in the first one (or you have a 486s faster than our Pentium). Our 8100/80s are one to four times faster than our DEC XL 60, which is a PCI pentium, in all Photoshop operations (with no accelerators). Maybe you have to check if you are running the native version of Photoshop on that PMac or maybe some extension(s) is slowing that 8100 to dead. Both PCs and PowerMacs are fully optimized here for its best abilities, and after comparing both DECs and our first 8100 for more than a year, we decided to leave the PCs for just 3DS, drop a DEC XL, buy a new 8100 and get all the image processing, prepress and painting on the PowerMacs. Sometimes I have to startup Photoshop on the DEC and I fell like everything is mooooooovvvviiiiinnngggg aaaaattttt sssllllooooowwwww mmmmooootttttiiiioooooonnn 🙂 (although now I fell moreless the same way when I use jesus' 8100 because I have installed a Radius PhotoEngine on mine).
