Hi,
    I'm looking for some benchmark programs that I can run on my clone
    386/25. I dont have a co-processor. I'm very interested in the disk
    drive controller, as well as RAM throughput/access speeds. Also, is 
    there a list of how different machines and controllers compared on 
    these different benchmarks? That is, whats good and whats bad? I have
    FTP access.
    
    Now, while I'm asking... When I received my machine, I found a copy
    of a program called 'cpuid' which reports different values for clock
    speed and the number of wait states, every time its run. How could 
    this be? Alright, if I have MS Windows in the background, I could see 
    it steeling some CPU, however, how come I can run it and get the number
    of wait states 0 then 1 with a subsequant run?

    Please mail responces, I dont check these groups all that often.
    If others request this info, I'll post a follow up.

    Thanx,
         ...steve...
