re : ali You have amused me , ali ;) It is indeed rather strange that the GTW G6-450 pII system has such a low score compared to the rest of the field.... I would like to see a K6-3 450 with one of those IBM harddisks here.. I wonder if K$eon could keep up in NT :P FHWL, Michael da Kota

<However, for some "reason", the GTW P-II model, with the same drive, appears to be 33% slower! Now it is easy to find the true reason as why the normally configured Xeon model posted 7% better scores than the same but misconfigured P-II counterpart, with crippled disk subsystem. Since the disk time in Winstone99 constitutes at least 30% of all run time, it is quite possible that the properly configured GTW G6-450 could post even better scores than the Xeon system!> Thanks for pointing this out, Ali Babble. I especially liked how you put the word "reason" in quotes. After all, we all know that Ziff-Davis publishing is conspiring with Intel, Microsoft, Dell, and Gateway to make the competition look bad, right? Tenchusatsu
