My 2 cents:
686 Kernel: 2.6.22-3-686 (2.6.22-6.lenny1) Boot: grub to login: 37 seconds Xfce(Started manually using "startxfce4"): 25 seconds Bench: ZLib: 4620.706 KiB/second (higher is better) Fibonacci: 10.956 seconds (lower is better) MD5: 22.168 MiB/second (higher is better) SHA1: 23.102 MiB/second (higher is better) Blowfish: 44.472 seconds (lower is better) FPU Raytracing : 67.443 seconds (lower is better) Bonus, a great error message from alsa. __________________ K7 Kernel: 2.6.22-3-k7 (2.6.22-6.lenny1) Boot: grub to login: 32 seconds Xfce(Started manually using "startxfce4"): 21 seconds Bench : ZLib : 5274.572 KiB/second Fibonacci : 10.151 seconds MD5 : 22.971 MiB/second SHA1 : 23.920 MiB/second Blowfish : 43.239 seconds Raytracing : 66.326 seconds I see a significant difference between 686 and K7. My two desktop computers are K7, but I can not yield results with the two because my main PC(K7) categorically refuses to boot on a 686 kernel! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
