    Watch out for your prefixes, 166 mHz would be one operation every 6 seconds.
    I don’t think there ever has been a CPU that slow ;-)

    (small letter “g” doesn’t exist as a prefix, but could be easily confused as the unit gram-Hertz)

      I once made an incredibly limited cpu on paper, basically had the whole cpu in logic gate on a piece of paper. Tried to run the most basic programm on it by hand and i can assure you thet it was much slower than 166mhz XD
