Re: "Those benchmarks show the K6-3 450 behind a Celeron 300A in GLQuake 2, and behind a Pentium II 400 in Half-Life." Something is wrong with Anand's benchmarks. I just ran demo1.dm2 timedemo at 800 x 600 (the resolution Anand used in part one of the K6-3 article--he didn't say what he used in the second part, so I assumed it was the same) on my K6-2 392 MHz with a TNT card. I got a score of 43.9 fps. I ran it a second time to double check and got 44.9 fps. Anand shows a K6-2 400 MHz getting a score of 30.8, and the K6-3 450 MHz with a score of 44.9. Could it be that he ran the tests without 3DNow and just didn't make it clear? Could it be that he ran the tests at a higher resolution than in the first half of the review and just didn't bother to tell us? Hmmmm. Kevin
