 Hmmm... time to put my HP calculator in the bin me-thinks...

 Does anyone have any feel for performance vs. value in high
 end PC's like these?

 In Australia it is possible to purchase two P5100's for
 the cost of a P133... would this provide a much better deal?

 What about 4 chip machines?  How does the system scale over
 multiple processors?

 Also would say a dual pentium machine be of higher performance
 than a P6?

 Peter, still using that 486dx33, Childs
