- Not really a fair test. Theoretically a 33MHz ARM3 can do 33MIPS, so long
- as there is no bus contention, yes? The speed of the '040 depends on what
- the '040 is plugged into. Anyone know the average speed of a 'stand alone'
- '040?
-
- Please, please, someone tell me what package the A5000 ARM3 is in!?!
- w.r.t. plugging in a 35MHz ARM3 instead (anyone done this?).
