Could you give a comparison between two systems, one PII and one AMD, where the AMD is faster. I'm not arguing, I was under the impression that the PII would run circles around just about anything. I have a couple of PII's here and I don't have any AMD's, but the PII is just awesome compared to the other Pentium w/MMX chips in the other machines. later Kelley To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
