My PII-300 system, which has an Intel AL440LX motherboard runs the benchmark thus: joanna% gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.3/specs gcc version 2.7.2.3 joanna% gcc -O2 flops.c -o flops joanna% ./flops -5.4193e-130.1407 99.5369 joanna% ./flops

All this talk of flops has left me wondering is there any similar benchmarking (better still comparative info) for the SGI's? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

SGI workstations aren't that fast cpu wise. Where they run circles around other computers is due to SGI's fantastic graphics and rendering. This dosen't mean that they are slow. I was useing an SGI INDY2 with 180Mhz(hmm, that seems to fast) R5000 mips processor to crack RC5 under the Bovine
