OK, that is a pretty bad article, showing how little about Apple the writers know. They only touched tangentially on the Performa line; what made the Performa so horrendous, was that certain models were actually slower than the models they replaced. For example, the Performa 5200 had a crippled IDE bus, and the motherboard was based on a Quadra 605 board, giving the 75Mhz PPC 603 chip less performance than a PPC601 running at 88Mhz.
