This is incorrect. The 603 at a given speed was slower than an equivalent 601. For that matter, a 603/100 machine was only about as fast as a 601/60. The 603 was a low-power chip, originally intended for laptop use.

Correct. Sorry, about that. Thanks for pointing that out Alan. It seems that everyone realised that 1210 MHz was a typo as nobody pointed it out. Also, several pointed out that the popular line of family computers was the Performa, not the Performa as I had.
