This all comes from running a test suite, don't ask me for details ;) : Machine CPU performance nps/MHz ------- --- ----------- ------- Mac G3 /266 266MHz 750 39,934 nps 150 Pent II /266 266MHz PII 25,604 nps 96 Mac 8600/200 200MHz 604e 24,203 nps 121 Mac 7300/180 180MHz 604e 22,184 nps 123 AMD K6/200 200MHz K6 21,396 nps 107 Pentium Pro 200MHz P6 17,438 nps 87 Pentium P5 200MHz P5 12,680 nps 63 Since the 604e provides nearly the same nps/MHz (1.6% difference in above table) regardless of CPU clock, I'd assume the 750(G3)/300 gets around 45,000 nps (rounded down). Now if the same happens to be true for the PII, you'll need a 466 MHz PII to get at least CLOSE to those 45,000 nps ;) Problem one: no 466 MHz PII in sight. Problem two: 340 MHz G3 reality today.
