I understand that--but to reduce a Pentium 120 to below that of a
Pentium 90? That's quite a hit! I don't think my 701 (486-75) was that
much slower than the 486-66 desktop I once had--actually, I generally viewed
it as a bit faster (though it probably wasn't).
I can quite understand the notebook P120 being slower than a Desktop
P120, but it just seems awfully drastic for it to be even slower than a
desktop P90.

But mine (the P120) is a PCI bus too...
