I've always thought the Pentium and PC601 were roughly equivalent per
Mhz, but the PPC's advantage was a lower price.

That's true.  I can run Warp and cruise the Net with the built-in apps 
(Web browers, ftp, gopher, newreader, telnet, archie), and **STILL**
play Falcon 3.0 in it.  And hit Alt-Tab and switch over to Aces over
Europe, and hit it again to go to Civilization, all while ftp'ing and
d/l'ing from several sources.  Cool!

Can the Mac do this thing?
