Just learned here this week that I could use doubles for counting, I myself wouldn't have thought of that ;) Think I'm just gonna count every 8th node, that would help :) >Anyhow, I will stick with my K7/600 for quite some time. >It is fast enough by (my) definition.

I'd like to have a faster system (have a P2/400 now) but those monsters are not only powerful, but also use up a lot of power (~55W for 1.2 Athlon). That's what's holding me back, my (environment) conscience :( Anyway, I've looked at your sources in the past (v3.19), and Chest is quite impressive, Heiner! Keep up the good work ... Groetjes, Paul
