Can I vote for one of my DEC PW500A 500 MHz Alpha systems running RH 
7.1?  :)

Seriously, if you find a good test, let me know, and I'll run it on the 
Alphas for comparison.  While SETI@home is definately processor 
intensive, it's mainly FPU instructions, so it's probably testing the 
FPU library and/or FPU co-processor more than the CPU.

I also have a couple K6-233 systems that would make for a nice 
comparison with the K6-2/500 system you've got...
