Re: 755cd pentium upgrade
"....My only data point is that a 75MHz Pentium CX was much faster than
a 100MHz DX4 755 CD.
Remember that the Pentium machines have external cache which can make
a huge difference....."

no argument there. the 75x pentiums have *real* pentiums inside-- 64 bit
register & 64 bit bus. i was just pointing out that the pentium *upgrade* for
a 755cd dx4/100 is nothing like the real pentium machine due to the p24t's 32
bit bus (and, now that you mention it, the lack of l2 cache)-- and likely not
any faster than the dx4 when you factor in the slower mhz.
