Date: 25 Jan 93 19:04:15 GMT Message-ID: <1993Jan25.190415.5528@microsoft.com> Organization: Microsoft Corporation For the people asking for x86 (intel) machine recommendations for virtual reality applications, the following list comes from the usenet group comp.sys.games.ibm.pc. The winners have local-bus video and DX2/66 MHz chips. The benchmark used is frames per second measured by the "Superscape 3D benchmark," which is available on the sample disk in _Virtual_ _Reality_Playhouse_. It's also available at the FTP site mentioned below. -Glenn ---------------------------------------------- From: wity@iastate.edu (Senopati Pamungkas) Subject: 3D-Bench Updated List (01/25/93) Organization: Iowa State University, Ames, IA Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 06:57:56 GMT I have been receiving lots of 3dbench scores, so I decided to post the updated list twice a week.
