: Soon we will have 400 MHz Pentium II's. Wont the mac users be upset. :)

Sitting on a desk, CPU's are idle around 95% of time.  But, WOW that
5%, processor X will kick ass!!

The most powerful publicly know computer is a massively PARALLEL Pentium
Pro machine that is to model nuclear decay.  I'd be surprised if they are
faster than 200Mhz each.  ie it doesn't matter IF you have some real
work to do with the chip.

I'm going to paint my white car red.  I'll still only use it to go
the the pub and buy the shopping, but, geez, I will be impressive.
