The question is: where do I find a 133MHz 601?

For the same clock comparisons, here you are:

System            CPU        ClkMHz  Cache      SPECint SPECfp  Info  Source
Name              (NUMx)Type ext/in  Ext+I/D    92      92      Date  Obtained
================= ========== ======= ========== ======= ======= ===== ==========
SNI/Pyr PC/E5S    Pentium    33/66   256+8/8      67.4    61.5  Sep93 SPEC newsl
Compaq DeskproXL  Pentium    33/66   256+8/8      65.1    63.6  Sep93 SPEC newsl
IBM 250           MPC601     66      32           62.6    72.2  Jul94 www.ibm

I avoided the Intel Xpress numbers and stuck to Siemens Nixdorf and Compaq,
for obvious reasons.

The SPEC apps don't seem to run faster on the 601/66 than on the P5/66.
Oh, sorry, I forgot that SPEC data are pure bullshit (because they show the
Pentiums faster than "everbody" knows they actually are :-)
