They are more the glad to tell you the CPU speed, and *tons* of [somewhat bogus] benchmarks. But heavens forbid, they let people realize other parts of their system aren't running at 133MHz, etc. :-)) I'd still love a specific URL to this information at www.intel.com. > multiple of 30, runs the PCI bus at 60MHz. The only other option > that's left is multiples of 25 (75MHz Pentiums). Thanks for the info. I was expecially interested in knowing about the 75MHz pentiumns. I suspected that a 60/66 MHz pentium could be better than a 75MHz since they run the memory and PCI buses faster. People still living off their parents upgrade their systems quite reguarly here at my University (1.5hrs from Silicon Valley). So often you can find pretty good buys on used parts (for use poor grad students. :-) ). -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu)
