> Seriously, simply because of curiosity - are MIPS CPUs used in any > kind of "general purpose" machines? I'm not aware of any multi-core general-purpose MIPS box. Low-end MIPS CPUs are ubiquitous in low-end networking gear. High-end multicore MIPS chips are mostly going into mid-to-high end networking gear like firewalls. They are probably not a very good fit for general purpose computing. --Artem
