Subject: Hiarcs 7 -- 450 Xeon or PII450?

Good evening gentleman!
     I was just looking at today's post and I noticed that Hiarcs-7 has been
tested with a PII450 (256 ram) and a PII Xeon (450?).  Was there a big
difference in performance between the 2?  The reason I ask is I just purchased a
PII450 256 ram machine (it arrives Sat or Mon).  I spent a lot of time trying to
decide if the Xeon was worth the extra money.  I was given a lot of valuable
input from this site and I finally decided that the Xeon was slightly faster,
but noticeably better only in network server applications.  I didn't realize
that Mark had done some testing with the new Hiarcs-7 with these 2 machines.
Just what was the performance difference?  I would like to thank anyone in
advance if you have any input on this.
     Also, where can I get my hands on a copy of Hiarcs-7? (Not that I need the
ego beating -- the truth is, I can't beat Hiarcs 6, 4, 3 or 2.1 on my old 486
laptop at regular time controls!)  Again, thanks to all of the programers that
make this hobby more enjoyable.   Kevin Mulloy
