Makes me wonder what a PCI > m'board with an NCR controller would be like..... it would be GOOD! jordan recently posted make work numbers for at 586 133MHz running stable....took about 13,000 seconds. on my 486dx66 asus sp3g set to write-back cache protocol, 256kB cache 8MB memory (yes only 8 ;(( ), ncr53c810 pci scsi, fujitsu 1606S 1GB drive (512kB cache)....i get 27,000 seconds. (THANK YOU ROD!) so double the clock and double the processor--gets you DOUBLE the speed. ONLY. jordan how about some details on that 586 133MHz system. seems that it order for performance increase is still: disk, memory, processor Jonathan M.
