Elmer, re:Clearly AGP is still quite a ways off for the K6 and even farther off for Cyrix, and when it does arrive it looks like it will be slower than Intel's current version. To make things worst, Intel will likely have their 440BX out by the time AGP is workable for socket7, farther widening the gap. Considering that 1x mode is still not completely debugged for socket7 and the 440LX runs clean in 2x mode, I'd say it looks pretty sad. Notice the board crashed with a cyrix. How quickly things change: AGP Socket 7 mainboard (FIC PA2012) is being re-reviewed by Uberclockmeister Tom, and now he recommends it (http://www.tomshardware.com/news.html): "The board has improved a whole lot over the last revision, so that it's now worth being recommended. The performance has increased and it's running fine and stably with the 6x86MX CPU. Have a look at the new review." ONE WEEK. Where's the 440BX? Petz
