The PC I have (as mentioned by JD) is assembled by our in-house PC
Support expert, Mike Palmer. He has chosen the following hardware for
the system:
(1) 1 Intel PII 300 MHz CPU
(2) Supermicro P6DLS motherboard (supporting dual CPU processors and
with built-in Adaptec 2940 SCSI)
(3) 128 Mbytes SDRAM in a single DIMM
(4) Diamond FireGL 1000 Pro graphics card (AGP port)

The hard disks are the "old" hard disks taken from my previous system
(Pentium 166 classical), these are Seagate Medal Pro (supporting UDMA &
ATA3) with EIDE interface.

The OS is NT 4.0 with SP2. I have used the Intel BusMaster EIDE driver.
Moreover, I have tweaked the registry to change a few parameters for the
NT kernel & NTFS performance (memory, caching etc.).

Compared with Pentium 166, the current PII 300 is about 2-2.5 times
faster in IDL, in terms of computation (tt2), graphics(gt2) and I/O
(tt2_23).

Currently, I have decided not to add the second CPU until RSI has
written a new version IDL which supports multi-thread and take the
advantages of the dual-CPU.

Regards,

Jun Tan
