On the subject of benchmarking, did anyone ever compile FreeBSD "worldstone" benchmarks in a useful reference? Was hoping Intel's recent much-forwarned price drop was going to make some interesting prices, but haven't seen much yet. Have been debating some variation of a Pentium, probably on a Tyan Tomcat IV MB with the switching CPU voltage regulator. Would like to think I could trust an AMD K6. OTOH, 150 MHz and 180 MHz Pentium Pros are in the same price ballpark and are also attractive. MB and Pentium II appear to be twice the price of a low end Pentium Pro or middle range socket-7 chip solution. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
