Doug:

I think the XXX Mhz # is not what your looking for, Mhz is just the speed of the chip. But this tells you nothing I.E. 100Mhz 486 is not the same speed as a 100Mhz 586. % of cpu time used would be better in this case. But I know what your asking. Sounds like the same thing (Mhz/%) but trust me its not.

With that said Jon would know more about sound on a chip than I(clock cycles used/% of cpu time based on PII). But a good test to give you an idea of the power(hehe) of everything on a chip, just run a 2d/3d app. from your MMX cpu. SLOOOOOW is the word.

I have a 300Mhz PII running a 3d game or demo would yield about 1-5 Frames per sec.(FPS) 5fps would almost never happen, with my Riva128 card I get 30+fps. As you would guess MMX is never going to see the light of day on my cpu for years. But to answer your question using video and based on my PII #'s(5fps) I would need a 1500+Mhz PII to get me 30fps as a very ROUGH answer but should give a good idea.

5000-2500Mhz PII if based at 1-2fps : )
You could Bake food inside your computer as you use it at that speed. Easy bake computers from intel : )
