I'd hope it'd run pretty damn well, since we've had up to 10 users on a 286 doing software development... which is about 30 times slower than the 486, with more demanding users. Now I won't say I was happy with the performance on the 286, but the current systems with moderately old 386es are adequate, and our 486 box screams. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' Ferranti International Controls Corporation 'U` Sugar Land, TX 77487-5012 USA +1 713 274 5180 "Zure otsoa besarkatu al duzu gaur?"
