Tench - RE: "The problem is that AMD still has the reputation of being a low-tier contender.
Those system builders who are choosing AMD are choosing it purely because of
price. Therefore, the other components that are going into an AMD-based system
are also being chosen with regard to price, not quality. That's why quality
components are more likely to appear in Intel systems over AMD's. If the builder
is going with more expensive components, they might as well go with a more
expensive CPU like Intel's, even though you can build a comparable system with
an AMD K6-2 and a Super 7 motherboard."

Check out the components in the Compaq K6-2 400 based PC:
compaq.com

Compare those specs to the various PII and other K6-2 5100 and 5600 series PCs. You will see the same level of components.
