- That's quite funny, since PC mag did a review on how the 040-25 matches
- up to a DX2 486-50, the 486 blew the doors off the 040. And look at your
- specs bud! According to BYTE mag, the 040-25 runs with 2.4 MFLOPS, and then
- the 486-33 does 2.6 MFLOPS w/o a weitek 4167. Then look at your MIPS, etc...
