McMillan Y-4 Athlon 750 1 100 128MB Win98 Win32 CLI   7:24 The bottleneck seems to be the AMD-751 chip. There's a huge speed gain (from 9:30 to 7:24) installing the AMD-751 AGP miniport driver (for Win98).

McMillan Y-4 Athlon 750 1 100 128MB W2K Pro Win 32 CLI 1 8:27 Same configuration, Win2K. Compare with the 7:24 in Win98: the lack of AMD-751 AGP drivers takes its toll.
