Paul, I'm posting from my PIII system under Linux. After about a weeks hard work, I've got the modem and ethernet functional. My next big task is to get it to connect to my Athlon WindowsME machine. I'm able to ping it over the ethernet, but have no idea how to make Linux and Windows talk to each other in any meaningful fashion. I've noticed that the PIII boots Windows much faster than the Athlon machine, but I suspect that is because of the fast disk and 256MB DRAM. I'm going to try to connect DirecPC to the Athlon box this morning. Too cold here for golf this winter. Scumbria

<Since then, the P6 core has been given a larger L1 cache (16K to 32K), segment register caches (to fix the 16 bit legacy problem), MMX and SSE instructions , and 256K of ON CHIP L2 cache as well as a finely tuned L2 cache hardware. Add to this a clock speed increase from 200 MHz (Pentium Pro) all the way to 1 GHz (Coppermine). In 4 years, you'll be saying the same thing about the Pentium 4 - which I assume will receive several improvements between now and then, a la the P6 core.> P6 started as a nice core competing against K5, K6. Coppermine was the only substantial improvement. P4 starts as a monstrosity competing against Athlon/Palomino/Hammers. See the difference? Kap
