Maxell, Re: K6-2-300 is selling for $281 and is equivalent to PII-400 Yes. When you run 3D Winbench 98 using DirectX6 and a 3DNow! optimized driver. The question is, do you purchase a system just to run 3D Winbench 98 to realize your saving ? Based on Tom's benchmark, it is more fair to say that K6-2 is now on par with same clock speed PII when running 3D games(provided that the 3D game you run is optimized for 3DNow!, either their own engine or through DirectX). Go to AMD's site and check which game vendor is behind this. The most noticeable one is Quake II. So if you want to compare the price, it is more like K6-2-300 vs PII 300/333. According to Tom's(again) latest Intel roadmap, PII300/333 will be selling for 310/420 by June 7 and 210/320 by July 28. Gary
