Darrell,

So far all I have tried with it is Vector cad/cam and internet explorer. With
vector it seems just a tad bit slower, but still faster than it was on my
amd233 k6. This machine is an AMD k6 400 with mandrake 7.0 and 128 meg of ram.
The way that I have win4lin currently set up it is only using 24 meg ram for
windows. I will try to find that setting and increase it to see if things
speed up. The way I understand it, I can run it up to 64 meg max, but that's
fine for what I'm doing. Heck, 24 meg seems to be fine right now.
With internet explorer, the web pages seemed to load fine. I went to slashdot
and newsguy and it seemed pretty smooth.
So, I think this is going to work great. Now there is NO reason to reboot
back into the original windows98 that came on this machine.
I am not sure how things will work with the RTlinux kernel. That's a big
question for me right now, since I haven't had any luck with RTlinux on 2.2.14.
