You dual processor machine may not run a single application as fast as a Pentium II 350. The bus speed is still probably 60 or 66 MHz, and that might be where the problem is occurring.

Quick Trivia: At what bus speed does an AMD K6-2 333 run?

Does anyone else here use the new 100 MHz bus Pentium II processors? I would be a little upset if we bought a bunch of new machines that didn't work with our system...I would be inclined to buy Celeron 333's with BX mainboards and what for a VFP bug fix...then upgrade to PII 400's when the processors cost <$200.
