During a dull period of the day, I performed the following experiment: 0) Get 2 PC's close to each other. 1) Start up the silly music sample programs that come with the PC. 2) Start the Blue Danube Waltz on both, at the same time. I found that by the end of the "music", one PC was about 5 seconds behind the other. Both PC's are XT's. The only difference is that one has an IBM color display, and the other a monochrome display. The slower one had the monochrome display. So... 1) why is one PC slower than the other ? 2) have I discovered a new method of PC benchmarking ? -- Rob Hagens @ wisconsin ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,sfwin,ucbvax,uwm-evax}!uwvax!hagens hagens@wisc-rsch.arpa
