run at about the same speed? Or close?

IMO, I would say there may not be any "real" way to know.  If your stack has
any kind of visual component to it, then the capabilities of the graphics
cards can affect performance as well, or at least perceived performance.  If
your stack is processing only, then perhaps the systems may be close, but
someone else may have a better answer.

I think you're probably right, but I was hoping. I guess Jim's test method is the one I'll have to use.

Isn't a Pentium III/800Mhz a pretty old machine? Anyone know what's "average" out there in PC land? That is, if you were going to aim for a generic speed, what hardware would you use as a best-guess value?
