     We upgraded our 780 to a 785 about 2-1/2 weeks ago.  We're still
running bsd4.1, but also had no problems.  Our performance increase
was right around 50% (a few benchmarks went higher, but not by much),
but we suspect that we're losing a little of the 785's extra ooomph
because we only have 16-Kbit instead of 64-Kbit RAM chips.
