Jules - concerning K6 and Pentium II performance -
The following quote comes from the Techweb site. Perhaps the K6 has been overhyped!
From the URL :

"Some customers, such as computer resellers, are giving the K6
high marks. Mitsuba Corp., a systems integrator with $450
million in annual sales, will use the K6 processor with 512 Kbytes
of cache to power its Premier K6 line of desktop computers,
said Ken Martinez, director of marketing for Mitsuba, La Verne,
Calif.
"We have personally tested the processor, and have found the
performance midway between a 200-MHz MMX Pentium and a
Pentium II," he said. "Based on our tests, our customers tell us
that brand recognition will not be affected by performance or
compatibility issues, and that [problems associated with] the K5
are a tiny ghost in [AMD's] past."
