- A 133mhz pentium is near 2 time slower then a 133mhz 604. Now to equal PPC
- performance you would need at least a 266mhz pentium... (This from some past

- The P6 is not showed to be a major leap forward at all ... so for the next
- few years (maybe forever) PPC will have the edge mhz for mhz against any x86
