If I owned a Pentium it would spend some of its time running a sane operating
system, probably one of the freeware unix lookalikes like Linux or NetBSD. As I
understand it the Power PC is a RISC chip which means that it should complete
most operations in a single clock cycle, but each operation would achieve less
that the more complex instructions of the Pentium. I don't know which would win
when it comes to actually getting things done.
