- Processing power doesn't necessarily mean system performance...
- especially running multitasking windows. Microsoft's system benchmark
- is a much better measure of performance. Putting a Pentium(tm) with
- no external cache, 2ws 4MB DRAM, a plain ISA VGA, and a ST225 isn't going
- to make multitasking windows apps run too much faster.
