I'm glad this hasn't died!   All the reviews I read about VPC and the like
suggest that on most applications, there is little noticeable speed difference
between Mac/VPC and Pentium, and if any it's about 10-20pc slower!

Therefore 9600/350MHz being about 30pc faster than 266MHz should be faster.

I know the processors work in different ways and certain calculations are
processed at different speeds etc... but it can't be as far off as some have suggested??

Can anyone tell me what RISC and CISC stands for.
