Uh, I don't think so... I don't know what tests you were running, but for real world stuff, the 5x86 at 133MHz is about a P75, just like they claim. That would put the 160MHz chip at about a P90. That is assuming you didn't have to add an extra wait state to your cache and/or your memory to run it at 40MHz, as opposed to 33MHz (which many people might have to do). >> Even at 160 tho, they are rock stable, run cool (with a good >> fan/heatsink), and SPEEDS... A good cheap fast upgrade for existing 486 systems, yes. But a decent Pentium will be faster. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
