I did as you said. The desktop is a 500 mgz Pentium with 128 mb RAM. It ran between 16.7 and 24.3 K/sec on the Quicken portfolio. The PB3400/200/48 laptop gets about 3.7-5.7 K/sec speeds on the same portfolio. A test on the internet said that the speed of the PB laptop is about 1/5 of the typical cable. I wonder how much more speed I would get with a MPC-200 from Macsense on my 3400. If anyone knows what I would gain before I spend $100 for the card, please let me know.
