Just got a new DELL notebook with PIII 800MHz and was already thinking about
the next desktop PC to get.  Then it occurred to me... I wouldn't be until end
of this year or beginning of next, so forget about figuring which kind to get
for now.  Will all be different by then.
Always an interesting question when it comes to POV-Ray performance on a
particular CPU/FPU.  Will watch for benchmarks at the POV Bench (
http://www.haveland.com/index.htm?povbench/index.htm
 ) site for signs of the P IV; nothing yet apparently.
