Hi Robert, Someone mentioned here that you benchmarked a DX4/100 vs a Pentium/66 and the DX4 turned out to be faster. Could you please confirm or deny that you did such comparisons ans if so, is this accurate ? If by some chance this IS accurate, would you mind briefly explaining the tests ? Much Appreciated, BILL

Hey Bill, Why don't you give me a call… I hate long message explanations. But, yes DX4/100 out-performed a Pentium PCI/60 with the same setup for floating point math (ie- 3DS Rendering). But NOT with I/O based things (ie- Windows). That is where the Pentiums really shine! 404-355-1662 I work 24 & 7… if I'm not in, leave a quick message… and I'll probably be back in touch with you within the hour. Thanks -RT

No kidding. I *would* like to hear about that. I'll give you a call soon, and thanks a lot for the generous offer. Regards, BILL
