How much of a | speedup could I expect from installing one? Obviously the hard disk will | still be the same old turtle but the cpu should scream. Is it at least | a factor of 5 overall (say for a compile)? +--------------- Norton's SI jumped from 1.0 to 13.7 on my ITT XTRA. I don't know about overall performance, since I got the card for use with Windows, which throws its own curves at the speed equation. And I don't have a C compiler to test with, anyway. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
