I am not familiar with the foxbench mark you speak of. Do you get a breakout of what generated the score, your hard disk value was X, your Graphics Card was Y, the processor was Z? Or is it just a number? When I saw the differences on the rating application that compared XP / Vista / W7 I dondd't see much of a difference between either OS on modern equipment. I wonder what the Foxbench is measuring? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
