"Thread: What are the draw-backs (if any) of buying a PC or notebook that has AMD's K6-2 or INTC's Celeron instead of INTC's P II (or III)? "

Lynn,

I just happened to see this question wile looking through your profile (side track - after you posted on the Webnode thread, I see you have them all figured out) Anyway, there is a very real advantage for Intel chips in floating point calculations over the Cyrix and AMD chips of same Mhz ratings. I have one application that does extensive number crunching where I noticed a huge increase in speed after swapping out a Cyrix chip for an Intel PII. But relatively few apps make extensive use of floating point calculations.
