This article compares three coprocessors (the ones in the subject line above) via the Power Meter benchmarks using the following tests: spreadsheet simulation, word processing simulation, database simulation, CAD, throughput, whetstone, and aggregrate system performance. The particular reason that I am posting this is that the magazine inadvertently left out the entire test result table for the article, and I found out how you can get a copy of it. Just call 1-800-366-0676 (Vulcan's phone #) and tell them you would like a copy of their missing table for their article entitled "Three Math Coprocessors." I suggest that if you call them you should get a copy of last month's issue so you can interpret the results. In this way you won't be simply asking for a "freebie" by calling them too. I have no connection with this magazine, etc., etc.,..... S.
