Chuck: The reason I say that is because a Pentium should be able to handle a DSL or cable connection (given that even 486s were able to handle 10Mbps Ethernet). I have a 700MHz Athlon (slotA) and a 333MHz AMD K6-2 right next to each other (both 128MB SDRAM) on the same Internet connection (via LAN). There is absolutely no question that the Athlon "renders" pages faster than the K6-2. Without actually having timed it, I would say that for complex (non-Java) pages, the difference can easily be a factor of 2 (with total time on the K6-2 < 5s when bandwidth is not the issue). This is apparent both in Netscape and IE (as well as Opera). -fyo
