Russ, I mistyped, I should have said P II/333 Sorry.
I suspect there will be other players like AMD with socket 7 stuff maiking quick machines. The P-II still needs a faster bus and is only 5-10% faster than a pentium of the same clock.
Again benchmarks are mongable and Intel and Apple are both guilty as charged re: bemchmarks that make them look quickest. Byte seeks ad revenues as it has shrunk badly over the years and by selection you can "rig" benchmarks. I suspect Intel could "rig" a loser G3 too.
PS AMD is supposed to have some K6-333 out, and you can overclock a K6-266 to 333 and run it at a higher bus speed with a higher voltage, but you need an active refrigerated heatsink. It works and the hacker types buy them and easily beat the Pentium II/333 at far lower costs.
You cannot overclock an Intel CPU as they have blocked it.
