I haven't done it on a PPC, but the best I could get out of a 500mHz ARM processor was equivalent to a 486/33. Played the original Duke Nukem okay, but not much else. I had to laugh because someone is trying to use my former (they exist, but I'm not part of it anyomre) handheld device company's technology on a device with a 200mHz Arm chip. They saw our demo, read our business plan and PowerPoint presentation under an NDA and them announced an ARM based device and copied our business plan's text in their announcment with a few errors they added on their own. I really had to laugh at them because with a 200mHz ARM chip, they won't get very far. As an estimate a 2gHz G5 chip will give you about the performance of a 200-300 mHz pentium II system. Remember that VM ware does NOT emulate the processor, it just acts as a compatibility layer for I/O. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
