I just built a box for FreeBSD. I have had a reasonable amount of experience with Windows/Win95/NT/DOS machines in the past, although I have never owned one. I have always specialized in the mac at home, and gotten some unix experience at school. But I have never owned an Intel-architecture machine until now. I have heard some good things about Cyrix chips before, and my brother just used Cyrix chips to build several FreeBSD boxes for his business, so I used one for my new unix box. I am interested in getting BYTEBENCH benchmark results from others running FreeBSD, because I would like to get an idea of how fast my machine is. BYTEBENCH was a benchmark package available in the packages installation in the sysinstall program when I installed FreeBSD. If you have run BYTEBENCH on your box, and would be interested in swapping results files with me, please email your results and your email address to me at seth@pengar.com. I ran BYTEBENCH and redirected the output to a file, so the results file I have is exactly what appears on the screen. I don't have the file here at work, but I will email it to anyone that wants to compare it with their machine. My machine is: Cyrix 6x86 P166+ cpu. 16 MB RAM 1.6 gig Sanyo IDE hard drive VTI motherboard with HX PCI chipset and 512k cache Zoom 33.6k internal modem 1.44 mb floppy a cheap NE2000 compatible ethernet card a cheap VGA card (ISA bus) wicked cheap monitor that only uses black and yellow Currently, FreeBSD 2.2-BETA is the only system installed on that machine. One of these days, I am going to come up with some more money (when the wife calms down from me making this machine as it already is ;-) I intend to buy a CD-ROM and a nice PCI SVGA graphics card and a Trinitron monitor, add some more RAM, and install X Windows, and maybe even put Win95 on another hard drive (this whole drive is used by FreeBSD currently) for playing games. I would be especially interested in comparing results with people who have Cyrix P150+ and P166+ processors, and also folks with Intel Pentium 150 and 166. TIA, Seth -- J.
