We were running 3.2X faster than a pentium pro 200, which is approximately like a PII/640mhz machine if one existed. But this was a _digital_ machine with a big L3 cache and decent bus (not the 'pc-alpha' machines that suffer with the usual PC 64 bit wide data bus that chokes the alpha badly)... Bob
