I would add 5) bus speed (bandwidth) to Jim's list. The original ISA bus gave 2.38Mbits per second (4.77MHz, with two cycles required for each data transfer). A PCI bus can provide 8528Mbits per second, or about 3,580 times as much data per second. Note, for example, that and ISA bus can't even handle a 10Mb ethernet connection without problems. Low-end machines still make fine text terminals, because the bandwidth requirements are dramatically lower. -DAvid ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
