OT,

To All:

Does anybody in this thread can help me on some technical info between 350 MHz AMD-K6-2 Processor with 3Dnow and Intel Pentium II process 350 Mhz?

Such as:
1. which processor runs cooler, generates less heat?
2. Do all softwares run on both types of processor?
3. Any known bugs on the AMD processor?
4. right now I still have the old Intel Pentium 90 processor and ready to upgrade to much faster processor; if I switch to AMD-K6-2 processor, any problem run the same softwares?

I am now looking into 2 Compaq ,Presario, computer ---the model 5151 (Cost $1099.00, equipped with 350 Mhz AMD-K67-2 processor) and the model 5170 ( cost $1699.00 equipped with Intel Pentium II 350 Mhz processor). a big $600 different !!!.

Any drawback or known bugs in the AMD-K6-2 processor. I never own one AMD processor, but due to the price diferent and cause me to switch to AMD ---- any suggestions or comments ???

Thank you all in advance for the help.

Have a Happy New Year!!!

gilbert --- long on AMD & Intel
