Larry, Paul Engel's response which indicated that the K6 competes with the Penium with MMX instead of the Pentium II is misleading as usual. The Pentium with MMX can barely compete in performance to any of Cyrix MMX chips. Here are some benchmarks: cyrix.com Here is some comparisons that include the K6: chips.ibm.com Now if you compare the Pentium II 34 Watts to the equivalent Cyrix/IBM or AMD competitor, the Pentium II is almost twice as much heat as Cyrix! The point is that good ole Paul Engel is misleading as usual. The Cyrix 6x86MX and the AMD K6 compete on price with the Pentium with MMX Technology, but in performance with the Pentium II. In the north country, the Pentium II does have one advantage, it will not only meet your processing needs, but it will also help the room stay warm in the winter. :-) Bob
