Robert, over the weekend I yanked the guts out of my son's K6-2-3D/300 with 100MHz SDRAM and installed those same parts into a chassis with a PII/266 motherboard. He reports the following:

- Booting is MUCH faster
- Shut down is MUCH faster
- Quake II is MUCH faster
- Commanche is less jerky
- G-Police is finally fun to play

Same hard disk. Same video. Same O/S. Same memory. I tweaked that VA-503+ board to the max but the PII with fewer MHz is still much faster.

I can understand the games running better but the boot speed takes the cake. Go figure.
