The 21066, which the Multia uses, differs from the 21064 in the AS200 in a couple of major respects. One is that it has PCI logic on board, so you don't need external circutry for that. The second is that its memory controller is *very* slow, 2-3 times slower than a Pentium. For general use, it feels more or less like a high-end (66 to 100 MHz) 486. cjs -- Curt Sampson <cjs@cynic.net> 604 801 5335 De gustibus, aut bene aut nihil.
