Simple MHz isn't a reliable indicator of speed. A 700 MHz Pentium III is a
lot slower than a 700 MHz Athlon, for example, and a 700 MHz Duron or 700
MHz Celeron is slower still. I ran Generals at a pretty steady 15-20 fps
(lower than the desired 30 fps) with an Athlon 700 (original Slot-A) and a
GeForce 1.
