A tad more on the K7's power

Read this at www.amdzone.com. This is written by a programmer for Quake 3.

"Your time is better served lobbying your video card driver manufacturers for 3DNow and KNI support. This will net, by far, the most gains in overall performance for the majority of users with PIII and K6 systems.

K7 should run great out of the box, with or without 3DNow! support."

This obviously leads us to believe that the K7 (at least its FPU because this game is very FPU intensive) is going be more powerful than the PIII.

Hopefully AMD will give out Spec numbers at that conference coming up.
