Sorry to break a little bad news... It seems that for at least the Winstone 98 results, some of them just won't be available. 2 reasons: 1) I can't run *any* of the "high end" tests (C++ compiler, FrontPage 97, PhotoShop 4.0, etc.) because of one simple reason: my machine has "only" 24 MB of RAM. Minimum 32 MB required. 2) I can run *most* of the "Business Apps" tests. But for some reason, the machine just will *not* run the PowerPoint 97 test through to completion (preventing an overall score for "Business Graphics") and the same is true for the "Browser" test (it uses Netscape). Neither one of these will go all the way without producing an error that I cannot seem to get past. As a result, there may be some Winstone scores that simply won't be available. I apologize in advance. I have just begun to run Winbench 98 now so perhaps it can fill in some of the "holes" that Winstone 98 may leave behind. By the way, I'm only running the tests that make sense--the ones that may be affected by the CPU upgrade. For instance, I'm not running Winbench's disk tests on the HD. After Winbench, I'll run the comparably simpler "Wintune 95" benchmark and these three plus the simplistic little one fron Norton Utilities 2.0 (for 95) will be it before I send the machine in. All "After tests will be directly comparable to what I ran here, plus whatever is brought/sent to me from those I've already spoken to regarding OS/2 and SAS. I presume I'll be sending the machine off to PEP in the next couple of days. ------- Randal J.
