This site looks really useful
They estimate it would take 24,000 1999 processor chips to equal a human

brain. Put differently, the brain computes about 100 million MIPS
(million computer instructions per second)

Quote: "By estimation, the brain has about 100 million MIPS worth of

processing power while recent super-computers only has a few million MIPS
worth in processor speed"

Quote: "the average brain can hold about 100 million megabytes of memory"
Quote: "By calculation, scientists discovered that the brain's

memory/MIPS ratio matches that of modern computers. The megabyte/MIPS
ratio seems to hold for nervous systems too!"
