Apple clones

[Gary Shelton]

As far as performance goes, this guy's done some benchmarking between a  
G3 and an Athlon at the same clock speed. For most CPU-intensive  
operations that were written with the architecture in mind (not a port  
from another architecture, like most games), I've found the G3 to be  
about 1.5 to 2.0 times faster than an ia32 processor at the same clock.  
Of course, ia32 has the edge in clock speed, so it's cold comfort...
