In message <4bpgk6$jc1@vodka.intele.net> - sidea guys <sidea8120@sidea.com> wri tes: :> :>i personally noticed a big difference in speed going from a win 95 P120 :>16-4x to a PPC 100 (pmac7500) 16-4x, like maybe 15 percent or more. I was :>actually surprised, but happy to see Apple get it right. :> May I ask you how you determined this? I work in a real computer store and not some damn department store that happens to sell computers. I sell real Apple PowerMacs (not Performas but real PowerMacs) and real computers and not some damn Packard Bell or Gateway clone. I will admit that a PM is fast, however I cannot say that the PM trounces on the Pentium in any one given application. What applications are you using to base your opinion on? Do you have any bench marks to compare the two? <---------------------- Brag Sheet ---------------------------------> Robert Aboud Member Team OS/2 Since 1991 OS/2 BESTeam member OS/2 Champions Member A+ Certified Technician
