- And my P60 (which is about as fast as a 486/100) runs the latest
- Windows NT _so_ well. It must be my imagination...or, likely, it has
- a lot to do with the graphics card used and the amount of RAM used, as
- well as the operating system and a variety of other options used. In
- short, 486/100 doesn't tell me much - I can make one that barely
- moves, and I can make one that SCREAMS.
