I had pretty much the same results for the same
upgrade. A 'nuther big boost came with expansion
of L2 cache to a full 1 Mb.
I think that 'dose95 likes the cache.
With an expanded cache, that systems just edges out
the Norton SI for a p90 by a nose. Sure, the SI is a limited
measure, but it IS a measure. Mainly, the older systems
need a booster shot in the video department, I think.
