Steve re <<where is AMD's version of the SpeedStep?>>

It is called "PowerNow!" and it is available today on both the K62+ and K6III+.

"Developed by AMD, PowerNow! technology enables high-performance and extended battery life in the same system. PowerNow! allows the processor to operate at different clock speeds and voltages, depending on the user's need for maximum performance or maximum battery life. On AC power, the processor typically runs at maximum frequency and normal voltage. When running off the battery, the processor can run at a lower frequency and voltage to extend battery life. Intermediate modes of operation are also possible, where the system can balance battery life vs. performance needs. Processor mode changes are transparent and occur automatically, based on user preferences; however, a simple Microsoft Windows© control panel interface allows the user the choice of running in other modes.
