Cameron – good post! i have an odd question for you. about 2 years ago someone started analyzing a DX66 and published a fascinating article. his claim was that the DX66 was actually a CISC creature with a RISC heart. When introducing the DX66 to 32bit operation, it's RISC nature could be seen. He put a DX66 alongside a SparcStation, and they benched almost identically on 32bit software. Unfortunate that I cant find the article (in the canyon of already read magazines). Any thoughts on this? Jeffrey
