"the RS6000 (of which the SP2 variant Deep Blue beat Kasparov at Chess) not to mention their IBM Network Station and other Network Computer makers like NCD Incorporated use the chip (PowerPC)"

Now there's and idea! IBM should come out with some heavy advertising for their chips and machines using the chess match as a vehicle.

I wonder how the PowerPC would do against a machine using a Pentium II? This would be a nice visual representation.

The average user doesn't understand MPS or megahertz. They want a tangible product demonstration.
