Jim, how come you are not sure what to make of it? It is not even close.

P-II/350 runs:

- CPU to L1 cache at 350MHz
- L1 cache to L2 cache at 175MHz
- L2 cache to memory at 100MHz (440BX chipset) even at the same time if L1 - L2 link is busy

P-II/400 runs:

- CPU to L1 cache at 400MHz
- L1 cache to L2 cache at 200MHz
- L2 cache to memory at 100MHz (440BX chipset) even at the same time if L1 - L2 link is busy

K6-2/300 runs:

- CPU to L1 cache at 300MHz
- L1 cache to L2 cache at 100MHz
- L2 cache to memory at 100MHz but not at the same time if L1 - L2 link is busy

However, there is a bright side of K6-2. This CPU has a superior MMX unit that allows some certain games to run more appeasingly to eyes of an all-star gamer like Maxwell. On the other hand, P-II still has a superior FPU than the K6-2.

Now, are you still not sure?
