Just had to chime in on this one. The 604e was the rough equiv to a PII, doubling its clock speed. So if you had a PowerMac 7300/200, that was roughly equivalent to a PII 400. (Ah the days of the MHz Myth) The 68040 was the equiv to the 486, and the 601 was the rough equiv to a Pentium I (minus the math problems).
