Processing power doesn't necessarily mean system performance...
especially running multitasking windows.  Microsoft's system benchmark
is a much better measure of performance.  Putting a Pentium(tm) with
no external cache, 2ws 4MB DRAM, a plain ISA VGA, and a ST225 isn't going
to make multitasking windows apps run too much faster.
