I have a Quadra 700 with 20MB of memory and RamDoubler. It has been
upgraded using the Apple PowerPC upgrade card. The timings on the
Nova Boss benchmarks is as follows:
In[1]:=
Timing[Inverse[Table[Random[],{100},{100}]];]
Out[1]=
{1.81667 Second, Null}
In[2]:=
Timing[N[Pi,500];]
Out[2]=
{0.166667 Second, Null}
In[3]:=
Timing[10000!][[1]]
Out[3]=
17.1333 Second
It appears to be about 3 times as fast as the Quadra 700 and about
half as fast as the Power Mac 7100/66. The times approximate a 486/66
machine, according to times reported by Kiyoshi Yoda and Julio C.
Proano.
