Tench, I'd give you a link if I could, but MaximumPC has to be bought, they're not publishing their stories on the net like the old BOOT did. However, a subscription is only $12 a year. The XPS-R450 review was in February, the XPS-T500 review in March issue. Actually, MaximumPC and its predecessor, BOOT, have been historically quite pro-Intel. I expect that to change when the K7 comes out.

Anand's review showed the K6-3-450 beating the Pentium III-500 by 4% in Windows NT and running 3% slower in Windows 98. (Business Winstone 99). So, I don't know where you get your idea that thats "not so hot." Furthermore, Anand ran his benchmarks with 64M of RAM, which is a joke. Its obvious that the presence of L3 cache will be more significant on a system with more memory.
