My brothers Escom P60 failed the FDIV test while running PC-check.
I assume this is the famous floating point test that proved that early
Pentium chips couldn't count.
How will this affect performance of the system?
Is it anything to worry about?
Can anything be done about it?
                                Thanx in advance,
                                
                                Col.
