The 2940 I have here isn't U or W.  That is probably why I'm always surprised 
by how slow the machine it is in is (originally it was in a L2-less P90, then
a P166, now a P200mmx, in other words, it is in my sisters machine).  I don't
know what the deal is, but when my sister gets a new machine, she is actually
getting a new machine instead of a radical upgrade.  And I think it is probably
going to be an all IDE machine.  I've used some screaming all SCSI Wintel 
machines, but the ones I've put together have never fit this description.  She
doesn't push the machine hard anyway.
