Twice as fast... wow. I guess paying the $300 or so for Windows NT is
like buying a $300 accelerator basically. I knew windows NT had a
performace increase, but I thought it was only a few percent. I may
decide to spring for the NT package then... which means I now have to get
atleast 32 megs of ram, versus the 16 I was going to get with the pentium
system... ahhhh.
