Tsen , re. PII inferiority The FPU of the PII as everyone in the PC press acknowledges is better than the K6 but the integer unit is slower , one reason is that K6 is a 6 issue execution unit as opposed to PII's 5 issue . The K6 also was designed with L1 cache twice the size of PII those 2 factors make the K6 core superior . Laying bets that a k6 without L2 cache on Mboard is slower than a Celeron is pointless since it is unlikely that you bother proving it . The Celeron 266mhz was slower than a K6-200 that is sufficient proof that most of the "high performance" of the PII comes from the L2 cache on the daughter board since that is the only real diffference , Brian
