[sdiy] Using 8051 to build a synth

[Niels A. Moseley]

Hi,

>Down side of the AVR is maximum clock speed, tops out at 16 Mhz or so.

Actually, it's quite good.. At 16 MHz, the AVR series reach up to 16 MIPS 
while a PIC can only get to 4 MIPS @ 16 MHz because it uses 4 clocks per 
instruction cycle.. At least that is what I seem to read in the 
datasheets.. 8) But I might be reading them incorrectly..

Cheers,
Niels..
