Paul, re: Anand's K6-2 vs. Pentium II numbers. The Winstone 98 score of 23.4 for the Pentium II-300 you posted is not directly comparable to the score of 21.6 that the same CPU got in Anand's CPU comparison. (http://www.anandtech.com/reviews/processors/processors-july98/cpu-5.html) The CPU comparison kept EVERYTHING constant between the different CPU's except the CPU and motherboard. EVERYTHING else -- graphics board, SDRAM, hard disk, etc. was kept constant. OTOH, the review you posted used a better graphics board (Matrox G200 8M) than the 4M Millenium II used in the CPU comparison. Check here for the results - along with 450 MHz Pentium II data. The 450 MHz data is NOT a true 450MHz Pentium II but an overclocked 400. The footnote says that Anand had to "jack up the voltage" to get it to run. The true 450 may have an additional wait state in the L2 SRAM which would make it slower than an overclocked 400. Petz
