Hi Roy! :-)

 RJT> Where would you draw the line to make that distinction?
A 486 is already not too happy when its cache gets disabled, but
performance really starts to go down the drain starting with the Pentium.

 RJT> I notice he didn't say what CPU that was...   :-)
He said 500 MHz, which makes it either at least a K6-2 (unlikely, though,
those models were hard to come by), a P3, or an Athlon. If it's
Intel-compatible, that is. ;)
