Maxwell, perhaps I should have been more clear. Show me the benchmark RESULTS, and please not an alien blaster benchmark and not a dumb selection of a couple of hand picked instructions, but a industry accepted benchmark. How about Spec95fp? Or something similar.

Maxwell,

Re:Take squareroot of 1, 2, 3, 4, .........., to 30,000,000
K6-2-300 finishes in 1 sec and PII-300 finishes 10 sec.

If I ever need the squareroot of all those numbers I will by a K6-2, otherwise I'll buy a PII-400. <G>

Maxwell,

No modern processors would finish a square root operation in one second.

May I give you a hint? Try under a micro-second.

Ps. The Arctic Circle trip is being planned for next summer. I want to know how big of commitment you have towards coming with us.
