Peter Principle - Re: ". My 1425MHz Tbird outruns even a 2GHz P4. And P4 does terrible on all benchmarks written prior to 1998"

Poor performance on 3 year old software ?

Tsk. Tsk.

Tell me - are people still writing 3 year old software - or are developers writing new software?

I wonder how an automobile would run on 60 Octane gasoline?
