Joe,
be careful before casually tossing around terms like "66 MHz 486". The
PC world is well-known for its tendency to play footloose and fancy-free
with numbers such as clock speed. Usually, the number printed in big bold
type in those computer ads represents the fastest speed at which a section
of the chip runs. How about the rest of the chip? How about your main
memory? More importantly, how about the bus that connects the two? There
are countless bottlenecks in a typical PC architecture, but those
trumpeting ads won't tell you about them.
Blaq!
