Amy,

I calculated some numbers for PII price/performance. Prices are the
lowest price at: pricewatch.com
Performance numbers are from the Intel website.

MHz 333 350 400 450
Winstone 98 24.6 25.6 27.1 28.6
Cost $130 $147 $243 $425

Winstones/MHz 0.074 0.073 0.068 0.064
$/Winstone 5.28 5.74 8.97 14.86
$/MHz 0.390 0.420 0.608 0.944

Note that the $/Winstone of a 450 MHz PII is almost 300% that of a
333 MHz, yet the performance gain is less than 15%.
