- Let me guess.. you are using aibb or sysinfo, both of which do not work
- with valid tests on an 060.. 060's DO get 80+ mips..
-
- You should of wondered about it when you consider an 040 50mhz gets 38-40 mips
- and the 060 50mhz came out the same.. this proves the program doesn't
- work at all. with 060's.. 060's ARE in the 80 mip range.. even if
- an outdated benchmarch util isn't able to work with the 060..
