I do not believe that an AMD586 at 100 mhz (i.e., on a 25mhz system) will meet a P75 even on non-systemic benchmarks. Several people on this list have seen a document I produced detailing my own experiences upgrading a desktop machine to this chip, together with several before-and-after benchmarks (some well-known, some based on real-world apps). The upgrade was definitely worthwhile for me, but on my desktop only cost me $40, and I was upgrading from a clock-doubled machine (instead of clock-tripled like the 701C). You say you don't like WInstone, but you don't say what benchmarks you use instead. - David R.
