There are significant achitechture differences between the socket 7 and slot one processors that make mghz comparisons a poor judge of performance when comparing between them. I have noticed that my P2-350 is quite a bit faster than a comparably set up k6-2 450 that I have played around with, so I don't think you are "doing it wrong" or anything like that. Just my humble 2 cents worth, Josh > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
