Apparently. You got me to do your Googling for you. </return volly> (sick fact: I had done the googling before noticing the cheap shot! :) A little googling showed the specs. 33MHz, maximum of 64MHz. Probably in the neighborhood of a Mac 68040-based machine. Probably a bit faster than my SS2, which won't impress anyone. It will *feel* faster than a Mac68k system, but that doesn't take much...
