I have seen plenty of systems that work fine with one or2 hits and they just can't handle a load of users, this has been proven timeand time again. Maybe you don't do enough to take it to task. Additionally axeon will out perform a pentium of higher clock speed any day and you aregoing to pay for it, just like the G4 chip will out perform a pentium.Thank God Microsoft had the sense to use the opensource unix code for itstcp stack or it would have been where apple was with OS9. I like the Mac, Ilike unix, I also use windows, but I don't go cheap with my servers orrouters.Robert MinorDirector of Internet Services------------------------------------------------------------Cybermill Communicationshttp://www.cybermill.com http://www.merchantmaker.comProviding Ecommerce and interactive website development andhosting services on Macintosh, Windows NT, Unix, and AS/400.All your websites are belong to us!-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://search.smithmicro.com/
