An integer dog?  By the context I assume that means it actually performs poorly
in this fashion.  If so I find that rather whimsical, since one would expect

Thanks for your help!  I;ve been looking in PC world for preconfigured systems
and most of them are P3 and P4's, I don't see very many AMD processors...
