RE: Slow SparQ and CPU Speed.

>>To be fair, you should also mention the qualifications he uttered about his system not being up to par, along with your opinions on the performance. <<

>> He did not mention how much RAM he has, and his rather slow CPU doesn't help either. Not to mention W95, which as he states eats up lots of computer performance just by itself. When we see a more diverse accounting of SpArQ's real world perfroamce tests, then a more balanced judgement can be made. Thank you.<<


Actually, a P133 is a pretty typical PC configuration. I would guess that this is at or above the median speed of installed PC's. A peripheral shouldn't need the latest 300mhz Pentium II to run at a decent speed.

I agree that more testing would be useful. I did point out that this is the first report I had seen on the EIDE SparQ speed.
