One of my colleagues would like to determine whether the AT she has is a 6Mhz or 8Mhz model. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I have Norton Utilities System Information program, but I don't know how what clock speed is indicated by a given Computing Index. If you do, please let me know. I also have a program that displays the date recorded in the ROM bios, in case that would help. Please mail me your reply, rather than posting it. I will summarize to the group. Thanks, Paul Knight PKNIGHT@PUCC.Princeton.EDU or PKNIGHT@PUCC.BITNET

But, in any case, you can run PC Magazine's benchmark program (PCMAGNET on CompuServe) which will tell you. If you want to get your hands dirty, you can just write a program loop and time it on a known machine and compare. If still in doubt, pop the lid and look! Glenn
