Cringe - Re: " But you would like to ignore the fact that a 400MHz K6III might be faster than a 450MHz PIII while running office applications "

Only if 2 MegaBytes of L3 cache are stuffed into the motherboard.

K6 -III systems won't be cost-competitive.

The K6-3 is about the same die size as a Pentium III plus it requires MORE L3 cache than the Pentium III requires L2 cache.

Plus, K6III does not have KNI nor the security features of the Pentium III.
