Re:For those interested in this - more details (Score 1)

It took us a while to figure out how to post to Slashdot, but in the mean time set up a web page with more details. Click here to see more information about the project and what we did. Oh, we did clear up that 400Mhz thing here as well, it was indeed my fault, but what I should have said was we clocked a 600Mhz PIII at 400Mhz in safe mode. Basically, we were trying to get across a rough idea of the speed at which instructions were being retired to tie-into that 0.8 seconds. Many thanks for your post. Steve Jones, General Software, Inc.
