Hi,

Just look at this thread on Nekochan forum:
http://forums.nekochan.net/viewtopic.php?t=6349

1.4GHz MacMini doesn't look that good in comparision to 400Mhz O2 boxes. I wonder why..
Test include Lame, Seti@home & Gimp packages.

Regards,

Yeah, MIPS CPUs are very efficient, it is a shame SGI can not invest on them anymore. Would love to test a Quad Tezro I just can say that I had a little O2 and then an Octane2 400 MHz, runing IRIX is blazing fast. They are also very nice looking computers, even when that is a personal perception.
