    Hi all,

    I have found the long time required to solve the FEMM matrix on
    my present computer that uses an Intel 467 MHz Celeron to be
    burdensome. I plan to upgrade to a new computer using a 3.2 GHz
    Intel Pentium or one using an AMD Athlon64 3200+ processor (2.2
    GHz). I have heard that the Pentium is rather slow with floating
    point calculations and that the Athlon should be faster, even though
    its clock rate is lower.

    I will appreciate any advice as to which processor should be able to
    solve the matrix the fastest.  I plan to get the new computer soon.

    Best regards,

    Ben H. Tongue
