Subject: CCL: RS/6000 PowerPC

My RS/6k 250 has the 601 cpu in it as far as I know! So the question re
comparing PowerPC RS/6k to pentium is fair, the 250 has a single-chip
cpu running at 66MHz like the pentium systems.

However it is important to ask what operating system you plan to use
for the pentium system. Any benchmark will be dependent on this, as far
as I understand it. 

If you have the pentium system available, we could probably compare 
timings for, say, one of the standard Gaussian-92 test jobs.
