Well while I was trying to work out how much of a speed increase I would get
if I upgraded to an 060 the only source of information I could find was the
latest Eyetech Ad. They used MIPS so that is what I used (that's why I was
so surpised that anyone had bouagt the game.). If this is rating system is
misleading (but it is alawys the system used on PCs) then I'm sorry, I
wasn't to know :-(

16 Fps still isn't that good, I suppose that really, PPC should have been
the chioce from the start.
