There's a big performance difference between a 5x86/133 and a true Pentium
133 -- about the magnitude of P75 to P133 to be exact. I ran Windows 95 and
Office 97 on a P133 w/32MB RAM for several months and was quite happy. I
saw the Windows 95 and WinWord 6 run on a 5x86/133 and I wouldn't wish that
on anybody who had a choice.

Word 6 is a 16-bit application; Word 97 is a 32-bit application.

All of which is generally off-topic in this echo. :)

The point of the post was to describe acceptable -Internet- performance,
which would be marginally on topic here, since the Internet uses TCP/IP.
The point that Word 6 was 'satisfactory' was merely intended to show cause
why Internet performance would be acceptable.
