<<Yes they did say it choked on 16-bit apps, but was still easily twice as fast
as the Pentium with native 32-bit coded stuff. Which is exactly what NT & MAX
are so their shouln't really be a problem.>>
These are exactly my sentiments as well. 16-bit applications will be slowly
phases out so it is only natural that all the latest processors be optimized to
run 32-bit at maximum performance. But in any case since the P6 will be faster
than the P5 the lost of speed using 16-bit applications will be made up by the
difference in performance on the P6, i.e. 16-bit applications will run faster
on a P6 than a P5.
