There is a Daystar Icon that pops up during windows load, so I guess it's there. Boot time was 44 seconds instead of 56, but I was guessing that boot time is primarily an issue of hard drive speed. My benchmarking methods without a formal benchmarker right now are kinda crude: I just time certain functions, such as boot to termination of stopwatch, open a Word document, open PageMaker, general feel of performance in games like Syndicate. Didn't seem much different, is all, so I was confused as I would have figured that with a 50MHz clock speed 1992 to 1994-era software under 7.1 would be pretty snappy.

Then again, this card doesn't have the FPU so maybe there is a big difference there.

Best,

John
