Very Computer

Hello everyone,

I may be ordering a Pentium II machine to run some x-ray astronomy packages
under Linux. I would like to know whether anyone has used a machine with the
new Intel 440LX chipset, since it looks as though the cloners are all
switching to motherboards based on this new chipset. I'm not too concerned
about AGP since this machine will primarily be used to run FPU intensive
programs, but I am interested in using SDRAMs.

Please let me know of your experiences, either in this group or email or
(preferably) both. Thanks much.

performance normalized to 200 MHz PPro:
200 MHz PPro, ED0    1.00
266 MHz PII, EDO     1.27
233 MHz PII, SDRAM   1.28

...so it looks like the SDRAM did make a difference...
