Brian, re:K6-3 performance. Anand's benchmarks underestimate superiority of the K6-3 because he used only 64M RAM (definitely skimpy for a high-end machine, especially for NT!). Low RAM = more disk thrashing, no, a LOT of disk thrashing in Winstone 99. And disk performance is the only thing Pentium II did faster than same-speed K6-3, undoubtedly due to the VIA chipset. Finally, IMO the SLOWEST K6-3 when it is available in a few weeks will be the K6-3-450. From a marketing point of view, it doesn't make sense to have two chips at the same speed. So who cares if an underclocked K6-3 is still faster than Intel's finest? Petz
