- Hi,
- I was wondering if any one could resolve my confusion,
- what is it that makes a workstation faster than a PC
- apart from the operating system.
- Because I've just read a article about a PC with a
- 50Mhz clock, would this be faster than say a sun
- workstation with 25mhz clock?
- I also read that dec are bringing out a new chip
- that can manage 200Mhz, is'nt this a massive jump
- from current chips, I thought the fastest intel chip
- only did 66Mhz.
-
- Hope this is the right group to post this, comp.arch
- sounded right,
- cheers,
- Dave
