- While I agree that this is misleading, I believe it was done to indicate
- the clock speed if the machine is upgraded to a PowerPC chip. The Quadra
- is used to own was 33 Mhz base, 66Mhz with upgrade. I would not call this
- an act desperation. Unfortunately, the general public views megahertz as
- the ubiquitous definition of speed (like MPH) when it is accurate only in
- comparison to the same processor.
