Okay, so we are on the same page. :-) I was rather confused by what you were trying to say in the first message. When I read: I can't imagine a G4 would be disk bound relative to an Intel machine, unless there is something very wrong with the disk or controller. I've seen cases when there was nothing "wrong" on either side, but one was way faster than the other. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
