- Well, a friend of mine in England has a 1200/'030-50 w/18m & a P100 w/16m.
- He had them connected with a null cable and was transferring some files
- between the two machines. On his 1200 he was playing music mods at the same
- time and viewing pictures, all with no noticable slowdown. When he tried
- doing those three things at the same time on his P100, he said the mods
- would skip every once in a while and the pictures took about three times
- longer to appear on the screen! A very noticable slowdown. He says the
- P100 is great at stuff like running Lightwave(which is why he got it),
- but that his 1200 is infinitely better in the multitasking department...
