I am not sure I get your numbers right. By now everyone knows a 90 pent. can be overclocked to 100 with not too much problems. That give a 10% increase in most specs I seen already. What would matter might be the question of (If you like MACS or PC's and what is the real reason for the system to start with.) Most consultants dont even bother to think systems till they know what the end use is and who is using it.....

He also claims that > only a 604 beats that. Right. Show me a 601 which will beat a 133 MHz Pentium. I claimed that only a 604 will beat it. I'd love to be proven wrong.
