Paul, Let me offer a prediction - there will be at least ONE MORE system vendor announcing an Intel 400 MHz Pentium II based system than there was at the NSM MII PR300 roll out yesterday! Intel can not afford to beat National's roll-out performance by only one vendor. Based on the heavy trading in Intel today, many other people agree with my assessment. Bob

RE:"testing methodology" Paul, The point I was making was that it is impossible to tell how much of the 400 MHz PII 21% performance improvement was due to the increased megahertz of the CPU. There are too many variables in the comparison. My guess is that most of the performance increase is due to an improved graphics processor and lower memory latencies across the 100 MHz bus, rather than the 400 MHz CPU core. I would be surprised if Winstone 98 shows the same performance gains as Bapco. Scumbria
