That's funny, it makes sense to me.
I guess you find it strange that a faster computer opens a program
faster, especially a program that does a lot of parsing?
BTW, the front side bus was 533MHz, and the memory was same speed.
That's much higher than the older systems too (100MHz for both).
Send you the box? Ok, i'll run to the store and shell out $409,
bring the thing home and put address label on it, then take it to
UPS for delivery, just so you can test it yourself. You should
see it in oh say, seven to ten days. *Or*, you could get a 3.3GHz
machine and test it on that system.
I also did a cpu/mem speed test on this system with a chess program and
the chess program performed very close to that expected relative
to the older system as far as playing strength (and time to reach
a given ply depth was of course faster).
Take care,
