Quite true. The links contained some interesting reading, and I'd say
that's about it. Sysinfo programs and their benchmarkings are all quite
good, but it says absolutely _nothing_ about net performance. Having had
the experience of both x86, Pentium*, Mac, and PowerMac, I had a good
laugh reading the second of the two links you gave. Very fine test,
proves nothing though... *S*
