How do you measure your fps in Doom? Do they document as to what could
drastically effect this measurement?

The p150 will be 60 * 2.5. You seem to be running it a 50 * 3, a
substantial drop from 66mhz.

60 -> 60 * 1
66 -> 66*1
75 -> 50*1.5
90 -> 60*1.5
100 -> 66*1.5
120 -> 60*2
133 -> 66*2
150 -> 60*2.5
166 -> 66*2.5
180 -> 60*3
200 -> 66*3 (if it ever gets made)

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

They're not charging anything for it since it isn't out yet. But rumor
is that the P150 will debut in the $700 range, a nice bit below the
usual 900-950. I guess it is so that they can sell the
Pentium-what-marketing-genius-thought-this-name-up-Pro below 1000.
