>Yes, I understand that MIP is a bad word. Also, you're mis-using it.
The "S" is not for pluralisation. It stands for "Second". As in: Millions of Instructions Per Second. It is 1 MIPS, 2 MIPS, red fish, blue fish. NOT 1 MIP. And, MSU's are just as bad, these days. First, IBM isn't as rigourous with LSPR, any more. Second, IBM Marketting skims a little off the top. MIPS: Marketting's Indicator of Processor Speed. When in doubt.
