Gregg: This has to be off topic, so I'll probably here about it, however, you're about rite. I do Macs because they may not be the best thing going but the're way ahead of whatever is in second place. I also build an occasional PC just to break things up a little. I've got a little 486 ( AMD 5x

Re: IIfx vs 386DX/40

Why I suggested 7.6.1 and Win95B (on FAT16) is because they're both fairly mature and patch free versions. On any computer the bus speed is almost as important as the CPU speed. A IIci with a 40Mhz 030 upgrade cannot match a IIfx because it's still running a 25Mhz bus speed to memory and other par
