For Genius, Richard Land says that the Pocket PC version is 1/11th of the speed
of a 666 MHz P3.  So I imagine a 33 MHz 486 will actually be slower than the
iPAQ - in fact the iPAQ could be as much as double the speed.  Having said that
Genius for the Pocket PC is not as knowledge rich as Genius 3+ so playing
strength may be similar.
