Get lmbench from the ports area, that should be a good test to find out how fast that board is. I have the numbers here for the ASUS PCI/I-P54TP4 board running at 90Mhz, can't produce the 100Mhz numbers right now as my last 100Mhz cpu is about to go in the box.... and I won't be bringing any in for a few weeks whilst I move.. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
