All... There is a review of several new 400MHz Pentium II machines with the 100 MHz bus at zdnet.com Using the Business Winstone 98 benchmark, these new computers have an average score of about 26. An older Pentium MMX 233 MHz average score is about 14, so the newer computer has a 85% performance gain. Personally I require a doubling of speed to consider a new machine. Since I'm using a P200 MMx now, it's almost time to start shopping. The most surprising thing is the relatively reasonable cost of the new 400 MHz computers.
