- The 604 is really fast, the 603 - 601 is not.
-
- But even if the 604 claims to have much more Mips, I really wonder, why the
- execution of the software doesn`t reflect this speed.
- (I tried this on the PowerMac.)

- Amiga is very expansive. The price of the A4000T is much more than PCs,
- Mac cost.
-
- The Alpha isn`t faster than the PPC 604, as both are Risc with the same problems.
- Neither the PPC, nor the Alpha are compatible with the 68xxx family, so why use
- a Alpha ? (for heating ?? =)
