- According to my sources you will get 50-70 MIPS from the 060 depending on
- different variables (ram, how the accelerator is connected to the motherboard,
- is it in an a2000,3000 or 4000 ect.)
-
- Roughly a Pentium 90 gets 75 to 90 MIPS.....so not quite P90 speed but again
- you can't go by just MIPS..........
-
- Now when you compare the cost of a P90 motherboard to an 060 accelerator the
- discussion takes on a whole new light....

- (same goes for comparing an Alpha motherboard to an Intel motherboard)
