I've read before that they accept the full pentium instruction set. For all but a few things, it's a fair amount faster than my P90(@100). I did notice that these applications that seem slower are built with pgcc pentium optimization. Does anyone know if I need to build with -m486 to get better performance out of this chip, or should I stick with -mpentium? Thanks! -matt -- Matthew C.
