Huh?..what is this based on? Please don't say some old mag review of system
components that have long been replaced\fixed. 

The fact is....the Pro WILL run Win95 & your dos games along with the other
prgrms written for win 3.11\dos as fast & based on most of the newer scores.. 7
to 12% FASTER than comparably clocked P5's. Many consider this "chocking" on the
older code. Arguably so when you look at the dramatic increase in performance
one would get when it is running a true 32bit OS & said code.

Too say it runs slower..ESPECIALLY 20%, well to be blunt you don't know what you
are talking about. Get a Pro 200 & run some tests...THEN tell ME how slow it is.
