The OSes were tested on a four processor Pentium III 500 with 2 GB of RAM and 8 Seagate 10,000 ms Cheetah drives in a RAID 5 setup. Client load was generated by 60 Pentium PCs, running either Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (at the discretion of the particular vendors).
10,000 milisec. drives? Kinda slow, but an interesting typo.
What all this really points out is that Linux's SMP kernel needs lotsa work, folks....

What, you never heard of kernel-modules? OOps, I mean "services"...
I really have to laugh when I see M$ getting so worked up about Linux. Poor babys. Maybe if you had an OS that didn't crash under heavy load so reliably, you wouldn't be so defensive...

Geez, guys, all we want is some programming info,
not planning on making our own boards.
Sigh.
Just keep smiling and back away s l o o o w l y...
