But not for long. The step from 18MHz 030 to 40MHz 040 with FastRAM also gave
me speed, but now I want more.

Why??? I can now walk into any shop in this (rather small) city and buy a
fully loaded 600MHz PIII for *less* than what a basic Milan060 will cost. I
started out with "Power without the price" back in '88 (I think), I still
want that.
