: Let me remind you that you needed a 604 Mac to be able to show a marginal
: speed advantage over the Pentium.

So let me get this straight.  You are saying that the pentium is superior
to the 601 because it is faster at a higher clock rate?  I thought that
the superior chip would be faster at a slower speed.  Lets see some
Pentiums at 66MHz equal the 601 at 66 MHz.
