That is to say... If an AT index is 2.0, then it is twice as fast as the PC in the overall performance. This is the strategy used by many utilities that measure performance, and they all agree within reason. So I have always used the SI program with my interpretation of its meaning. **************************************************************************** * Thank You, texbell!letni!rwsys!trsvax!slimer * * Bill "Disk BUG'S for you!" - ComputerWorld * * George W.
