In reality, the average system is a DX2-66 or 80 due to the buying cycle, and foresight. People bought the 'best' computers before he latest wave of 3.3volt CPUs, including the DX4, and P90, P100, and then later the P75. Also, never shoot down one person's reason without giving another.

That I would be hard to believe... @X07 --@X08Hansel Chung humbly replies---------@X0F I made a small mistake, yes there is no Pentium 200, it was a P166, not 200, the 200 I got confused on because one of my friends while I was writing this message, he was chatting about something on Alpha 200s, and somehow I typed the wrong number. But either ways, Premiere was a whole 7 seconds off in the sync between computers, and only to find that the sync option is not default and hidden in the far depths of the config menus. I still says it don't run that well, because it takes time beyond reason to compile a video 5 mins long. I've heard better about Alphas, and PPCs running Premiere, probably because of the CPU capibilities. --- PCBoard (R) v15.22/M 2 * Origin: San Jose, Kaliforni-Yeah!
