Please find enclosed some benchmark timings for Alpha, SGI, Sun, Intel and
AMD processors. This shows the AMD K6 to be somewhat slower at floating
point work than a pentium MMX with comparable clock rate. 

UNIX (native C compilers) and PC (GCC compiler under Windows 95) benchmarks
for 2D NOE calculations using command line version of NOEMOL.

System          	Time (mins:secs).       cpu     clock rate (MHz).

DEC alphastation 500   	approx 34               Alpha   333
SGI indigo2     	approx 36               R10000  195
Sun Ultra Ent. 4000  	approx 36               Ultrasparc 250
Dell XPS D300   	1.30                    Pentium II 300
SGI challenge   	1:50                    R4400   150
Dell XPD D233   	1.54                    Pentium II 233
Compaq deskpro		2.38			Pentium 166 MMX
Clone PC		2.56			AMD K6  200
Compaq deskpro       	3:00                    Pentium 166 (non MMX)
Toshiba 110CS laptop 	4.36			Pentium 100
SGI Personal iris   	6:15                    R3000   30
