- : 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!
-
- Bingo. "A 180 Mhz P6 will operate at the equivalent of a 133 Mhz similarily
- configured Pentium when running 16 bit applications ....at the system level
- the P6 runs approximately 1.4 times faster on a NT system while only 1.07
- times faster on the Windows 95 OS...includes Windows 95, which Microsoft
- has revealed contains more 16-bit code than the company first let on."

- Wait for Win96?, or get Cairo(next version of NT).
