ACA card speeds

[bbond007]

25Mhz 040 = 25 MIPS

50Mhz 060 = over 100 MIPS

I did the math and got an 060 but even a basic bottom of the line 040 beats 030 by a wide margin.

my 50mhz 060 only gets 65.31 in SysSpeed & 38.51 in SysInfo... maybe you are thinking 80mhz 060 or some super fast prototype ACA 1260

FYI: Wikipedia lied.  But at least they had the decency to make up some new numbers. :lol:

Wikipedia also says that Wikipedia is never to be considered a reliable source of information and cannot be treated as an authority on any subject whatsoever.

wikipedia SAYS:
Performance   ~88 Mips @ 66 MHz
                      ~110 Mips @ 75 MHz
                      ~36 MFlops @ 66 MHz

my SysSpeed seems to be pretty close based on those wikepedia #s

I would project mine should be between 67 - 73 mips based the 66 and 75mhz numbers. 65 seems pretty close considering OS overhead which is few %

here is the math:

(88 * 50) / 66 = 66.67 mips (projected 50 mhz based on 66mhz)
(88 * 75) / 66 = 100 mips (projected 75 mhz based on 66mhz)
(110 * 50) / 75 = 73.33 mips (projected 50mhz based on 75mhz)

it seems like their 75mhz score may even be a little high
