greetings again, Has anyone run a database engine on one puter, and transfered it over to a faster puter, and found a noticeable difference in access times? Has the speed increase been due to faster cpu or faster harddrives? Do you have benchmark times? And most importantly, was the database written in Eu (compiled or interpretted?), and was it doing any string manipulation like searching or find()s in the data before returning it? My fastest puters are 266Mhz and 300Mhz, but there are now surplus 600Mhz puters on sale for $300...... Kat
