If you know the answer to this question, than you know the answer to your >question. LOL. >Laurence Wrong. It's more like: what is a ferrari's horsepower/liter vs. a trablant's horsepower/liter? A 1MHz Pentium III would kick the 1MHz 8088 in the nuts. Considering an 8088 does about 1 instruction every few (5?) clock cycles and a PIII does about 2 instructions per clock cycle, I bet the PIII is ~10 times faster. -Tom
