You need to check with some techies who know a little more - richard's response was 100%. Software that depends on assumptions about execution speed or sequence of external events to work is bad software. Not that there is not a lot of bad software out there... I could give you a hundred (hey, maybe a thousand) examples of programs and operating system code from brand names like IBM and HP that broke when run on HW that was 10 times as fast as what they were designed for. But this has been going on for 30 years at least, more likely since computers became programmable. nothing new about the 333 PII in that respect. maybe we should go back to the 'turbo' button?
