266Mhz is a bit misleading though as people tend to think in x86 terms
when processor speed is mentioned. The ARM processor is RISC based and i
know the PS2 only runs at 300MHz and that is RISC as well.

Any idea of any kind of benchmark performance that would put performance
in terms of x86 based PC's?

Thanks,
