If you are right then it means that the latest computers are 1024 times faster than the computers of 10 years ago. I think about machines that everybody can buy and not about supercomputers. It seems to me to be wrong. I believe that the 386 is less than 1000 times slower than the latest pentiums even if you give them 2 processors(computers with more than 2 prcessors are almost not used by the public so I do not count them) Uri
