That may be true, it may not. The sparc 10, Power PC and Pentium are all in similar performance categories. What will often make a difference in performance is peripherals, motherboard design and OS. The only *fair* comparison of these three systems would be with the same OS (Solaris for power pc should right around the corner :) on all three machines, otherwise you are comparing apples and oranges... MacOS on a power mac goes directly to the hardware, whereas the MAE from apple, is using X-windows for display, and Unix for the underlying services. I imagine that pure macOS is going to be better at some things, worse at others... ward
