Another thing to keep in mind, "mips" isn't really an accurate way to determine processor speed. You'll get different results depending on what instruction is being tested, and an emulator throws this out of whack anyway. (F.e, I get 1500 MIPS in SysSpeed within WinUAE, and around 90 on my 68060.)

My personal opinion is that the Dragon is pure vapor.  No doubt, it would be very cool to see a fast 68k accelerator. I'm not so sure about seeing one faster than WinUAE on a modern PC though. ;-)



Allow me : MIPS = Meaningless Indicator of Processor Speed
