Bailey, (and Alan), >> the 66MHZ Pentium is supposed to be 4-5 times faster on floating point than the 486DX2/66. When running Landmark's Speed Test ver. 2.00, I get an integer performance about 50% better on a 60 mhz Pentium as compared to a 486/66, and a floating point performance only 100% better on the Pentium. It sounds like 3DS utilizes the floating point performance in the same way Landmark recognizes it. (Also, are you sure that 4-5 times F.P. performance wasn't also based on the 486/33? This would also explain the results.)
