<"Systems with Intel's new 100mhz boards may not be any faster "> Brian, it is considered very poor form to falsify quotes. You have just done this. Here is the REAL quote from the article you supposedly quoted verbatum. "Resellers should be wary of stocking up on BX-based computer systems because some of them might not be any faster than systems they are already carrying." While I admit, the meaning is not too far off what you falsified, nonetheless the article said SOME systems may not be faster. You edited out the word "some" and presented your edited version as a direct quote. Shame on you. Caught in the act. EP

Brian; It is not clear how level the play field was?, All other things being equal the new P-II will beat the others. So I must conclude they have a faster video and disk I/O system in the lesser systems that is seen by the bench mark progs as faster. Benchmark cooking is an active field and article have been written on how to make a 166MMX beat a 300 MHZ P-II, all you have to do is strangle the P-II a little. I offer for sale a 500 Mhx P-II MMX-III sticker that anyone who is into badge racing. You stick it on an old Apple II+ and impress some folks. I have a friend like that, buys a new top line box twice a year. All from components, always wants the fastest etc. He has the money, and I get the old mother boards etc for a deal price when he upgrades. Of course as a wholesale buyer I get him the stuff at cost, so it is a quid quo pro. Bill
