I'd like to thank those who replied to my earlier posting on
ci vs si. The overall impression I get is that the ci is a better
machine (faster, easier to upgrade) but that the si is priced
very attractively such that there is no clear cut answer. I'd
like to know if we could be a little more specific in terms of
performance differential (upgrading is not a major concern right
now).

If I run speedometer 2.5 on my ci, I get the following results

                        w/o FPU        w FPU
                 KWhet:   104            895
                 Dhrys: 5,366          5,649
                 Sieve:     3.78           3.77
                 Savage:   22.667          7.233


                 CPU:       6.68           6.68
                 Math:     13.79         154
                 I/O:       3.23           3.23

                 Overall    7.42          N.D.

How does the si compare? (everything above is in B/W mode)

Thanks

Stephane
