Yeah, I can't imagine that the Pentium would be exactly *slow*. Reading Nov.15
issue of PC Week confirms that early PCI chipsets did not allow the Pentium to
use a write-back cache, only a write-through cache. Apparently write-back cache
is faster, although my concern was really about compatibility. Glad to hear you
have no problems. My pentium machine from Dell should be here around
mid-December. With the new particle system in Imagine I need way more than
16meg of ram, ack!
Andrew.
