I imagine it would be about like using a 386DX 40Mhz on the internet. Decently fast, ran Win95 decently well with a good 2D ISA video accelerator. WWW surfing was definately NOT a strong point. Done there, been that a while before I got into Macs. How about a head to head internet performance comparo? 386DX/40 VS IIfx. Give them both the same amount of RAM (ISTR some DX/40 boards with 72pin SIMM slots) and contomperary era accelerated video cards. :) Using the same external modem would eliminate that as a difference and they could even use the same SCSI hard drive by installing a SCSI card in the 386. Dunno what systems. 7.5.5 VS Win95B? (Run Win on FAT16 because the IIfx can't do HFS+.) I think it would be an interesting combo article for LEM and LE-PC to do. ;) The problem would be digging up a suitable 386DX/40 board and ISA video card. Used to be plentiful, haven't seen any in ages. Danged throwaway PC culture. :P ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
