I'd pay the $325 for the K6... Here's why... The K6-266 will drop into
my current socket 7 mother board which the p2 won't so to buy the p2
let's add $150 for a descent board.. The p2 is now up to
$349+$150=$499.. I havn't seen a p2 board that isn't an ATX style
board which means I'd have to buy a new case so lets add another
$50...So now your p2 is costing $549... And to use the AGP, which I
couldn't care less about, I'd have to shell out another $150 for a
new video card.. So now we're at $699.... Let's see, $699 or $325?
Choice is clear here.. I can get the K6 266 and overclock it to
291/83 and get roughly the same FPU performance as a p2-266 and
stomp all over the p2-266 in integer performance..And all for $374
less...

C ya,
Bob
