- Actually, I've read the 060 can do up to three, and the 040 doesn't get 1
- instruction per cycle, unfortunately. Maybe on some instructions, but
- certainly not on all. That would be the equivalent of a RISC design..?

- >Conclusion: MIPS is crap

- I wasn't talking about his 060, I was talking about his 040, which he claimed
- made 40 MIPS at 40Mhz, when no board I've seen does more than about 30MIPS
- with SysInfo at 40Mhz.

- >AIBB works on a 060 with certain options if I recall correctly.
-
- Yeah, telling it to use 68000 code, 68881 FPU code and manually telling it
- what clockspeed the chip is. Not really representative anymore... :(
