I hope it will be a little bit faster than my good 3 years old K6 200MHz Anyway, I find most of the PC's I have bought to be close to unusable after a period of 2 - 3 years, even if my good old K6 is still working fine for wordprocessing etc. Anyway the Fritzmark of my K6 with 32MB hash was 139. Wonder what I can expect from my new system? Torstein
