There is no realistic way to compare that sort of system to a Sparc machine
though - doesn't matter what anyone says, unless there are ways to use
CPU-independent benchmarks to compare performance of various platforms and
configurations, comparisons are worth nothing. Which is a pity in a way
since it would be good to show up the Wintendo crowd more often. 8-)
