S, re:<K6-2 could be WORSE than K6 on Winstones> Hehehehe, yea, right. FYI, the K6-2 also included some minor NON-3DNOW! improvements to the FPU, increasing performance on double precision divide instruction by 350% according to chiptech.com!/3D_Code_Analysis.htm

This improvement makes overall (non 3DNOW!) FPU performance increase by 3.5% compared to vanilla K6 (see POV-Ray rendering benchmark at hardware.pairnet.com Even DOS games are sped up by the FPU improvements, and they should also improve Hi-End Winbench results, if anyone ever gets around to running them.
