Default NEC and computer speed

Dear W1HBQ:

To minimize compatibility issues, I use a stand-alone computer that uses an
Intel mother-board, Intel chip set, and Windows 2000. The board has
temperature sensors that are accessible through a free Intel computer
program. On long runs, one sees the temperatures go way up with 100% CPU
use. Obviously, the computer is not a Dell. Dell makes a good computer,
but uses non-standard boards. The work horse computer is an old Dell.

The NEC computer has no connections to the outside world and very little
software other than NEC4 and the pro-version of EZNEC4. As I recall, the
clock is about 2.8 or 2.9 G, 400 MHz FSB, and only 1 GB of ram. I
contemplate adding a second 1 GB of ram as some large models do push memory.

If I can find the time, I will benchmark your code.
If you are interested, I can find more details.
