OT-ish: What's the HP9000 K Class K570 server equivalent to?

For Interger performance it's slightly better than a Pentium II 
350Mhz, and for Floating Point, it's somewhere around a Pentium III 
500-550Mhz.  The other thing to remember is that the PA-RISC chip is 
64-bit.  I'm guessing the K570 also weighs a lot more than any normal 
Pentium II or Pentium III system :^)
