Michael,
I believe the reason that NT is faster in big machines is that it can
address large amounts of memory more quickly. When I was discussing NT with
a Photoshop expert, he said that for 128MB+ machines, it is much faster in
NT, as Win9x can only address 64 MB RAM at a time. It made sense when he
told me, but my re-explaining of it probably is not quite accurate. Either
way, I have been told by others that NT was the one to use for speed in a
high RAM system.
I do have a tall order for you: Can you make MLCAD multi-threaded? I will
be upgrading my system to a dual PIII 800 in about 2 months and would love
to have MLCAD be able to access both processors for more speed.

| Hy Mike, I like the idea but I will have to have a deeper look into it ... With NT you will not have any problems using two CPU even if MLCad is single threaded (but it isn't some gui things run parallel) but in this case NT will properly give MLCad (...)
