Hi Rod,

 RS>> Only when you use a mindless benchmark which thrashes a few

 GB>> CheckitPro 1.07 not good enough for you Rod?

 RS> Thats right, its a mindless benchmark that just thrashes a relatively
 RS> small number of bytes between the drive cache and the motherboard ram.

It doesn't, though, Rod. You're wrong. For comparison's sake, I ran a (c)
1994 version of Coretest and it reported 1.65mb/sec.

 RS> And it aint good enough for Conner neither, even they dont claim
 RS> thats the rate. Funny that. Corse Grant knows better than Conner.

'Corse' Rod knows better than Oxford.
