You people with older motherboards and lotsa RAM needs to do a little investigating before complaining about how long anything takes to do. The amount of cache RAM can affect performance in a very big way. My VIA MVP3 motherboard has 1024K of cache, which is sufficient only for 256 Mb of RAM. Benchmarks running 512 Mb are roughly 40% worse than when running 256 Mb. -- "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke Team OS/2 ** Reg.
