201.0. "upgrade results" by SCASS1::BROGDON () Sun Nov 19 1995 11:10

    I recently upgraded my p-90 that had both pci and vesa-vlb slots and my
    doom2 v1.7 went from 22.4 to 49.4 the only change was the motherboard
    and disk controller. The motherbaord is a ASUS brand w/256k pipline
    cache and the triton chipset.

I have also just upgraded my system from a
DECpc XL5120 with 48MB of FPM RAM and a Matrox
Millenium w/4MB WRAM.  The disks I use are SCSI
and hang off the on-board NCR810 PCI SCSI 
controller.

The old system was 41 fps

And the new system is based on a Tyan Tomcat IIIS
motherboard wit 512k Pipeline burst cache with an
Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI controller.

The disks/CPU/Memory and video card are carried
over from the XL5120,

The performance of the new system is 57 fps and
could be better if I used EDO memory instead of the 
70ns FPM RAM that I'm using.
