That sounds reasonable for the AMD k6 series, I found that series much slower than the PII, the athlon perhaps may be about right, i have a 950 classic and i see that the last 4 times were 10:53, 9:46, 7:44, and 10:28, it is running Win ME. It used to run win 95 and was clocked just over 1000 and averaged just over 7 hours, 7:09 was the last average for it, so it likes the older OS better... where as the K6 series seemed to like Win 2K or NT better.
