- That`s true for the 680x0 family, but hasn`t been proved for the PPC chipsets
- yet. In fact, I believe that AT aren`t going to get away with using a 603e
- slower than 100Mhz (as quoted elsewhere) unless they put a large marketing
- effort into explaining that AmigaOS doees more with less. The Lemming public
- will look at the higher Mhz off the PC platform (for cheaper prices, I might
- add) and make their own conclusions, especially with most PC-centric advertisng
- concentrating on clock-speed.

- In any case, you can never have too much cpu horsepower...
