- The ShaBlamm system actually gives you two computers in one box. After
- booting to C: prompt you can either type "WIN" to go to Windows on the
- 486xx
- processor or type "STARTNT" and go to Windows NT on the MIPS. Therefore it
- is
- wise to go with the fastest CPU possible ( I am getting ready to test a
- DX4-100). Currently most apps that run under Windows dont run properly
- under
- NT, like Photoshop and Doom. So if you want to run most of your favorite
- Windows apps your better off on the 486 right now. Excel is available for
- NT
- but currently only on the Alpha version (its real fast), the MIPS version
- should be avail. soon.
