    Don't be silly. There are very important differences that you are
ignoring when you talk about processor speed. Processor speed (when
measured in Mhz) is relative!!! A 4 Mhz Z-80 (CP/M processor) is
as fast as a 1 Mhz 6502. Those 3.5 Mhz Apple-turbocards speed up the
Apple to about 1.5-2x faster than a PC....the speed at which a processor
operates is only useful information when you are talking about the
same family of microprocessors.
