In Sweden they still have programs listed on P90s if i remember well
whereas the new hardware like my own dual 800PIII is a lot
faster:

2.0 (parallel speedup) *
2.1 (450PII to 800PIII) *
2.0 (Pro200 to 450PII) *
3.1 (P5-133 to pro200) *
133/90 (P5-90 to P5-133) = 8.4 * 3.1 * 133 / 90 = 38.5 times faster.

So roughly 40 times faster machine as a P90.

Rapid chess (like 25 minutes a game) on a PIII-cumine processor
is still hell of alot faster as running at 3 minutes a move on a P90,
not to mention that for DIEP the K6 is relatively slow too compared
to the new cumine, thunderbird and superbly priced duron processors.

I think a new duron might be cheaper too as a K6 whereas with 133Mhz
memory it's just as fast as a PIII-cumine!
