Re: "However, those Quake II benchmark scores were much less impressive, showing the K6-3 at 450 MHz barely beating a Pentium II 450 MHz, even with those 3D-Now instructions. And Quake II is the best-case scenario for games which support 3D-Now."

For some reason I can't get on to Anandtech riht now, but I'm willing to bet the reason the quake scores don't show a larger discrepency is that Anand used only one Voodoo 2 card instead of two in SLI configuration. One Voodoo card is fill rate limited with a PII-450 (and I expect a K6-3) so it will post about the same FPS for both processors. SLI Voodoo 2's and the CPU-intensive crusher benchmark at 1024x768 would provide the most meaningful benchmark, but it seems Anand doesn't know this.
