Arf, arf! :-) Anyway I understand that, but didn't you make this
fair comparsion on dual Pro and dual PII's? Remember, LX and BX
already have udma for better HD multitasking. The old pro chipset
didn't and relies on HD controller cards either SCSI ($$$) or
IDE none has udma (early ones) except for promise cards.

PS: Still not conviced that PPro is
"worthy" CPUs. I view it as
"bastard child" of PII, celeron is even worse.
I hope that's a typo. I've seen PPro 200 machines smoke PII 266 & PII
300 boxen under load [Network Servers]. When you go to SMP, the
difference is even more marked. The Klamath was a dog.
