TI-H: (OT about Grant's 486/68000)
OK, Grant, that's just not true. I mean, really now. MAYBE a G3/400 and a
PII/400 might be somewhat on par as far as gfx operations and multimedia go,
but the Pentium III is just plain better than G3 chips. Benchmarks have
proved it. I love how Macintosh compares its laptops with G3 processors to
Pentium-I class laptops! They're not SUPPOSED to be competitive with G3s,
the P/IIs are with their P-Pro core logic!
I think, on the other hand, since the two architectures have different
strengths, combining them well would unleash an ENORMOUS amount of
performance....how to do it, though....
