Cringe - Re: " Clearly, from what Anand wrote (which you just happened to overlook) the benchmark favors processors which have a fast L2 cache- something that puts the K6-2 at a hefty disadvantage that produces a lower benchmark. " Sounds like the Winstone 99 benchmark was modified to be a better indicator of the overall CPU SYSTEM - which includes the caches. Re: "-You have something to brag about while the K6-2 is out" Do I detect a CRINGE here? Re: "10% Slower but 24% CHEAPER makes ($259 K6-2 400 vs. $323 PII 400 on Pricewatch) the 400 MHz K6-2 the Price Performance LEADER !" I'll re-write this - the 300 MHz Celeron is the PRICE PERFORMANCE LEADER - 62% CHEAPER than a 400 MHz K6-2 and only 7% SLOWER ! Paul
