I was just wondering how the frame rate was on Gp2 since I
will be buying a new mobo. I'm trying to decide between a
PPro 200 or a P200 or just go to a P166 and wait for the MMX
stuff to come out. Thanx.

The Pentium Pro 200 would probably run GP2 slower then a Pentium 200.
This is due to the fact that the PPro's architeceture is optimized for
32-bit operation where GP2 runs under DOS(16-bit code). In a
comparison of the two processors running 16-bit code the P200 tended
to out perform the PPro 200.

Except that GP2 uses Watcom's DOS/4GW DOS extender. I understand that any
DOS/4GW programs are 32 bit.

Hmmm... Weird... my P180 gets a 349 on processor. On video I'm way
under that... 34x but it's a DRAM card...
