Since the Pentium-II 400 Mhz is out now (saw several ad's in dutch magazines) I like to add an entry to the bench mark page. Question, What are the official names of the SLOT-1 and SLOT-2 machines? Just SLOT-1 and SLOT-2? I couldn't find the answer on Tom's hardware page. http://sysdoc.pair.com >Anand will surely be in super-cool mode and you want to win some/lots of >those fast games! End of July in the south of Italy it is supposed to be over 40 degrees. The only things which will be cool over there are the ice cubes on the processor. - Ed - >Kind regards >fca
