There you go again, Scumbria, posting without thinking. You said, "If you want to save money on the CPU and graphics card, buy a K6-2 system with 3DNow! which provides most of the same benefits for games as SSE." But Tom's Hardware Guide clearly shows that even for games with 3DNow support, even a Celeron 400 ($110) beats a K6-III 450 ($450):

(This was with a Riva TNT card. A test with the not-yet-released Voodoo3 3500 shows the K6-III 450 about 1.3 fps faster than a Celeron 400, but that's still a very poor advantage.)
