Oh, but Adam, you have to learn to 'Look beyond megahertz'.
http://www.apple.com/powermac/technologies/g3.html

A 250-megahertz Macintosh PowerBook G3 is faster than a
266-megahertz Pentium II desktop.*

A 233-megahertz Power Macintosh G3 is faster than the Power
Macintosh 6500/300 and the Power Macintosh 8600/300.**

A 266-megahertz Power Macintosh G3 provides performance that is on
average 30 percent faster than that of a comparable
266-megahertz Pentium II system.*

I will concede, however, that and AMD K-6, while it runs Quake and
and Quake II slower than an Intel x86 chip, it runs Windows within
5% of an Intel Pentium-266MMX.
