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 at 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...
