Maxwell,

< K6 has breath more life to socket 7 which INTC wants to kill>

K6 is at the mercy of the motherboard makers. From quite a few motherboard makers I have known, they are all switching to Slot-I exclusively due to obvious reasons. However, if AMD would like to take K6's destiny its their own hand, I am willing to supply them with parts that will prolong the reign of Socket-7.

<Knowledgeable people prefer K6 to Pentium>

No, knowledgeable people, like myself and a lot of people I know, prefer a P-II system with BX chipset.

<Your perception is not TUNED>

Just not tuned to the channel you are on, you need to tune to the channels which most motherboard makers are communicating like I do.

<AMD spokeman said that a version of QUAKE for the K6-3D will be out soon>

So this processor is designed just for a game --- big deal. What the hell is QUAKE anyway? More shoot them up and advance yourself through killing more imaginary fiends? The money maker is not in the games. The money making is in business/corporate. No winder with very impress retail market, AMD is still losing tons of money.

<Have you seen the K6-3D in action prior to your conclusion?>

No, where can I buy a K6-3D?
