Dulane: <i flip through endless pages of text -- i have a 166 and can't wait to get a pII.> And you will flip your pages just 30% faster because the business performance of PII-266 (Winstone=60) is just 30% better than P-166 (Winstone=45). Is it what are you can't wait for?

The page will still flip in much more than 0.1 second and exceed the comfortable ergonomical delay, so you will be equally frustrated and bored with the new "speed monster".... Are you sure you need to flip through pages displayed in fully-scalable WYSWYG print quality? Or maybe you do not know how to use "search"?

Everyone wants more power, but the CPU is not the whole story here. Intel uses deceptive advertising with their iCOMP index to stress the isolated CPU performance. This index does not measure important aspects of user (system) performance like video paintings and disk paging.

BTW, good luck and take care, the 10th anniversary of Black Morning is coming tomorrow.
