- I am playing with Dual CPU 200 Pentium Pro for a couple a 
weeks now, Under NT this beast is really flying. It has a wide 
4Gb Qauntum and AHA2940UW. Basically I like Adaptec's products, 
but recently this a real headache to deal with their PnP 
realizations (sorry, Ted) At the beginning I spent much more 
time praying than playing. But once you got card up and running,  
you can forget about it till the time comes to buy new machine, 
and the performance is great. (I am talking about bus mastering 
devices)   Never tried the system with 95, but I thought that 95 
kernel is 16 -bit, so the performance should be equal to P5-200 
- am I wrong? What is it, Intel again creating himself a bad 
publicity?
