My brother wants to buy a new computer. He wants to run 'heavy' software as big jobs in Mathematica and a numerical evaluation program. This kind of jobs are very calculate sensitive. But they also work with large matrices so they have to do lots of memoryaccess. (The arrays are larger than the cache). Now he is wondering, what wil run faster for him, a 486 DX-50 MhZ who can faster access memory (on 50 MhZ) or a 486 DX2-66 MhZ whose processor runs faster, but access to memory is at 33 MhZ. The prices doesn't differ mutch, at least here in holland, so he is just wondering. Thanks in Advance, Andre I will post a summery if there is enough e-mail reply. -- Andre Koopal | Rags make paper, paper makes money email : koopal@fwi.uva.nl | money makes banks, banks make loans fido : Cor.Koopal@2:500/11 | loans make beggars, beggars make rags
