I'll start off by saying that I know nothing about the Acorn. But, I
have heard that the ARM risc chips are going to be used in the new
3DO systems that will start showing up in the next year or so. My
problem is that I know nothing about these risc chips. What different
kinds are there? What speeds do they run at (mhz mips, whatever),
and most important, how do they compare to motorola and intel cisc
chips? I'm particularily interested in how the ARM risc chips compare
to a 68040 motorola chip.

Thanks alot.
