Well, how many mips does the Raptor put out? Isn't it around 200
mips? Intel chips are going through some price drops, and the price for
a 486-66 motherboard w/CPU will only be around $400-$500 where they're
currently $650 and up. If I'm not mistaken the Pentium-100 will put out
260 mips (I'll check on this though) and with those systems ranging
around $5k, they look promising.
