Likewise, I have a P5/90 with 32 MB RAM, gig disk, etc. I ran a matrix decomposition on a matrix of order 300 or so, and it compared favorably to our HPs. CPU time was about equal. The HP was a 735 or 755. Someone else has run a Space Shuttle/Mir docking simulation on the Pentium, and it ran twice as fast on the P5 than on our SGI Iris workstation. That may be the fault of SGIs new OS though. Still, quite impressive. James -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- James P.
