Well, with the "component" part of the educational discount plan in place
I am now in a position to afford that 2630 I've been dreaming about these
many nights. But I have a few questions first.
These are not of the "What is it, what does it do, is it bigger than a Bridge
Board" type variety since this and another skrimish in the processor wars
was recently hashed out here...
I *WOULD* however, like to hear from those of you out there who already
have a 2630 and have spent some time with it.
I'd like to know
A. perceived/measured speed increases you've found
B. Your system configuration
C. Any problems/bugs you've had with the 2630 working with your system
(system/peripheral problems, execessive GURU-ing, etc.)
D. Software packages that work either *REAL* well or break real easy
Please reply by mail on this as I've noticed things like this tend to
degenerate into processor/architecture sniping real quick when broadcast
to the net in general.
Thanks in advance,
---Steve
