 Hello folks,

 A couple of days ago, I read an article (Sorry I lost it) that someone
 here on the net wrote about thier experience with the 68040 upgrade on
 the HP 9000/400t.  I currently have a 68040 upgrade kit sitting on my
 desking waiting for HP-UX 7.05.  Is it true that the Floating Point
 performance suffers as much as the previous post indecated?  I have a
 really uneasy feeling that it is true.  Incorrect post to the net have
 a habit of being shot down very quickly, and I've yet to see anyone even
 mention this.

 Concerned,
 Curt
