I believe that Sean Luke did some speed tests via WABA
on several different platforms...You might want to
check the archives for this information...
I can tell you that the speed difference is very
noticable between the 130 and 2x00. And even more so
if you run an acellerated 2x00. Sometimes I switch my
A2000UMP to normal speed in order to maintain
compatibility with beaming and keyboard use, but I
don't stay in that mode for long...it's almost
unbearable! I'm so used to 219Mhz, 167Mhz seems pokey!
