MegaHz 10^6, milliHz 10^-3. aka typo. however part of standard usage
would dictate MHZ and mhz being the same unless the context was extremely
slow events.

Now if it were MHy and mHy the assumption would be 10^-3 as a million
Henry inductor is very unlikely. Things like this tend to be somewhat
self checking.

Actually 386sx/16 is pretty speedy of the memory bus is wide. I have a
DELL 316sx that runs Minux like gangbusters.
