New Mac

I've been meaning to pick up a PPC powered computer for a bit, because I'm a nutter like that. Anyway, I finally found a reasonable deal at TheMacMarket.com and picked up a 350MHz G3 with a 20GB hard drive and 256MB ram for $139. This box is now officially my alternate arch test box (big endian yeah!). I've wiped Mac OS 9 off of it and am installing Gentoo Linux. Details about the install later when it's done.

One question though, a G3 350MHz should be rating about 700ish bogomips, but I'm getting 50. Anyone know what might be up with that? Could it just be the LiveCD?
