RE: TI-H: Power PC
Correction: the PII uses RISC technology, but has a CISC shell (like
encapsulation in programming, a "wrapper") around it. This is from the
latest PC World (or PC Mag, I can't remember). They had a big article on
microprocessor evolution. And RISC has been around longer than 4 years.
Sincerely,
Bruce
