Exactimundo my dear friend!
Pretty sad an pathetic isnt it?
Hey, just for you to think about...
My AMD K6/2 400mhz vs My TT
While no one will argue that the 400 is immensely faster than the TT, under real, everyday use, this is simply not true!
I want to view a HTML Page, on the TT its around a second to load, and depending on the size, another second or 2 to format, and display, but on the AMD, I am looking at 5-10 seconds for Netscape to run, and then another 3 seconds for it to display.
I want to edit the page, I click on the view Source Icon, and in less than a second QED is there with the file ready to work on, but netscape, loads up the editor, and then from in the editor, I have to view the source!
Ok, so I can cut out NetScape altogether, and just use the Konquerer browser, and Kwrite to edit, but even then, I am looking at 10 seconds or more!
No, seriously, the PC may be faster for many things, but general work, its bollocks!
Oh, and by the way, my HD is a UDMA66 and I get a reliable 30-35MB a Second, while the TT I may get maybe a meg on a good day.
