Unfortunately the MHz ratings do not tell the whole story. As far
as AMD vs. Pentium, the pentiums were faster (about twice as fast)
for floating point operations than the AMD products rated at the same
MHz. It so happens that I am primarily interested in floating point
operations for my work and so, at least, in my particular case, the
decision whether or not to choose pentiums on my servers is easily
made. Perhaps some one could enlighten me as to how two processors
can differ by a wide margin in one type of arithmetic while,
presumably, their performance is comparable in other types of
computations. I am not an engineer, hence, if this question seems too
obtuse, my apologies.

Shankar Kumar.
