Any comparison with similar machines (such as SparcStation, NeXT, PS/2 70...) will be welcome. Please respond by e-mail, I will post a summary later on. Thanks.

Well, kinda related. I ran Soft PC 1.3 EGA/AT on a AT, IIci, and a IIfx. Using the Norton System Information, the AT rated at 5.3 (numbers are times faster than a standard XT), the IIci 3.1, and the IIfx a blazing 8.6!!!!!! What a difference. IBM game animations are almost smooth! Len Schultz

Well, under A/UX 1.1 using the 50MHz Daystar PowerCard, my upgraded MacII runs the 1.1 version of Dhrystones at around 8800/sec using the standard cc compiler. Using the Unisoft Optimizing C compiler, I can get 12444 dhrystones/ sec out of my mac... I assume that number for the fx would be close... In fact, in the May issue of Personal Workstation, the breakdown of the IIfx vs. the IIci is as follows: System Dhry2 Linpack single double IIfx (MacOS) 12158 .2300 .1900 IIfx (A/UX) 10377 --- --- IIci (MacOS) 7853 .1448 .1297 -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 711.1 | | jim@jagmac2.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
