my guess is your miata 500au is better than your dual Pentium pro 200, but
it depends on what you are doing...

if you run a single CPU intensive process it will be  much muhc much
faster on a Pentium III 1GHz than on your miata.
If you run 10 very intensive CPU processes on your Miata and on Pentium
III 1GHz they will perform the same speed, in this case your miata =
Pentium III 1GHz

It depends also if hte progam you use is specint or specfp related
program. I did this 10  concurrent processes test with the TSCP progam,
and I got the result I told above.
