Craig, That ought to place the market value of the MII at about ... zero. I am not sure about that. You keep assuming that a significant percentage of people buying computers are buying them to play Quake. Of about 100 mil. PCs sold, and I don't think 5% will ever play Quake on them. Btw, back to my mini-benchmark, after eliminated all obvious variables (diferent operating systems, different network cards, here are my results: M2-233 32MB 1:19 min P2-350 64MB 1:21 min P2-300 32MB 1:27 min M2-200 32MB 1:31 min I am not sure what the bottleneck is. You might think it is the network. But when I ran the test on 2 computers at the same time, the server utilization went up from 28% to 52%, and the time of the fastest computer (M2) increased only slightly to 1:24 min, and with 3 computers, the utilization went up to 72%, and it took the fastest computer 1:30 min to complete. How would you interpret it? Joe
