Tomorrow, some else will have a faster time. It's nice to know that the $329 I spent did something useful -- for a change. I found it interesting that Steve said: >You guys should run these comparison timings with extensions off, in order >for them to make any sense. So, I tried it. With my extensions off, the processing time was 53.87 ticks (0.897 seconds) instead of 37.68 ticks (0.628 seconds) -- that's only 70% as fast as it was. Having the extensions off slowed it down. I think that the people who made the card also wrote an extension which helps the card out. Without the extension, it don't run as fast -- reminds me of speed doubler. Also, with the VM off, or on, made no difference in speed. tedd http://sperling.com/ _______________________________________________________ Thinking about buying Jewelry?
