	I'm still surprised as hell that the VAIO smokes this machine in so many categories. I guess it does have a lot more CPU than this machine does,
Changed:
< <	but I wouldn't expect that to matter for block I/O. Go figure.
> >	but I wouldn't expect that to matter for block I/O. Go figure. (I found out later that the DMA support was unreliable so it would cause an error somewhere during the test and the kernel would turn DMA off)
	P2 266 96MB, Western Digital Caviar 4.3GB as a slave on the same bus as the 15GB maxtor above:
