- Bzzzzzzzzzt!!!!!
- Totally wrong! If Win95 was a 32 bit OS in every way then it wouldn't SLOW
- DOWN on a fully 32bit only processor like the P6!! You can check the slow
- down fact with PC magazine (Feb 96), Pc Computing (Jan 96 & Feb 96), and
- Computer Shopper (Jan 96). Win95 slowd down on the 32bit P6 while OS/2,
- NT and Unix get up to a 245% increase in speed. You need to do YOUR
- homework!
