What Europe thinks about the castrated P-II-SX: heise.de "But only the result of BAPCo that is based on real applications, is actually relevant in practice. Here even the Pentium-II-SX with 300 MHz ran about 20 percent slower than the K6-233. Things looked a little bit better in the game benchmark, where the Pentium-II-SX-300 only missed the K6-233 by 5 percent. This does not change the end result, however: a Pentium II without L2 cache does not have chance of keeping up with a fast 586 processor like the K6-233. Whoever believes that such a CPU offers good performance for little money, is in total denial." "..customers should be careful about buying a supposedly cheap Pentium-II computer next year. If this `bargain' actually contains a castrated Pentium II, the price must be extremely good to compare to the price/performance ratio of a Socket 7 computer with L2 cache." Regards, Ali
