Much of the difference in speed is most likely contributed to the fact that ATA fires lots of interrupts over the PCI bus at the CPU while it is reading and writing, I notice disk access in my G3 slows the whole damn shop down a lot. SCSI however does not. If I run a program on my 7300 in 10.1.5 it makes very little difference to the speed of the (admittedly already slow) machine. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Mac LC Central My homepage: <http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson/> -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
