i'm prepared to pay 2x more for a practical speedup of 20% :)

to give an example. DIEP 800PIII 100Mhz 3-3-3 sdram
running single cpu at my supermicro
was only 10% slower as at a PIII1000 with VIA chipset
which performed as a PIII880 for me.

Now it can be anything of course which caused this,
but i was pretty amazed. Most people blame the VIA chipset
or other things, but definitely the chipset was involved as this
PIII had 133Mhz RAM versus mine 100Mhz RAM.

It would be cool to compare more machines. Actually i'm going to
do that next week.

Hope to get some accurate test info there about many different VIA
chipset machines.
