- The Arc does nearly everything in software too - what are you trying
- to say? That the ARM is faster than the CPU in most Macintoshes?
- Remember too that a lot of the ARM stuff is running from ROM which
- is clocked at ~half the rate of its RAM.. ;) I don't know how much
- Mac stuff is on ROM.

- Conrad, who probably doesn't know what he's talking about, but I
