Milo, Re: "The MicronPC, equipped with AMD's Athlon XP 1900+ chip (which runs at 1.6 GHz) and 256MB of DDR SDRAM, posted a score of 119 on our PC WorldBench 4 test suite--that's 9 points higher than the Dell Dimension 8200, with a Pentium 4 2.2 GHz chip and 256MB of RDRAM."

That's not all that impressive, given the outdated nature of most of the Worldbench applications.

Here are the applications used in the benchmark:
Adobe Photoshop 5.0
Corel Photo-Paint 8
Intuit Quicken Deluxe 99
Lotus 1-2-3 r9
Lotus Word Pro 9
Microsoft Access 2000
Microsoft Excel 2000
Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
Microsoft Word 2000
Netscape Communicator 4.73
Visio 5.0 Standard Edition

Milo, <(the MicronPC system performed 8 percent faster), you may notice it.>

I'll notice an 8% improvement in performance on my MS Word 2000?
