That's odd, here are my speeds on a P6-200 with Natoma (440fx)/server board straight from intel: Function Rate (MB/s) RMS time Min time Max time Copy: 76.1639 0.0633 0.0630 0.0648 Scale: 75.5894 0.0636 0.0635 0.0638 Add: 81.3670 0.0886 0.0885 0.0887 Triad: 80.6036 0.0894 0.0893 0.0896 And that was with 12 users logged in and the load at .23. I'd imagine it would be a little faster (~85 MB/s perhaps) in single user mode. It's using 60ns parity RAM. Even my workstation I'm sitting on (a first generation Pro 150 from Digital, 450GX server chipset - funky!!) gets about 65 MB/s average on the STREAM tests. If you're PPro is only doing 45 MB/s, it's time to bring it back and get a new one!! -mark ------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | C-Soft www.quickweb.com | ------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.
