I think you will find that the modern processors today like the P4 and AMD XP64bit already out perform RISC chips (and are cheaper) hence the popularity up of the Opteron 64 for business. Plus one of the strongest dedicated m/cs in its day, a London 68030, which has the same PC program, Genius 3 would not beat the modern monsters running on the same hardware. Clive
