And then you have the software, what software you use, how it is build, what reqirements this software has on other software and hardware and so on. Does it uses the FPU or is it heavy on the ALU. How much IO is used and how much can the system provide. But if you believe the average hardwaremagazine, intel is a step ahead right now. Norman -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
