PB Re: < I could even own a K63 and crow about it at work all day long, >

I own a K6-III, a K6-II 200, and run a P-233-MMX at work. Given the same disks, the K6-III boots fastest, and the P-233 really gets into some evil loops, but I can't say that that's the 2-233's fault.

All - in all, Any of these cpus serve a single user(me) just fine. If any CPU mfgr. is going to make any money they are going to go after the high end market. There just is no personal software that burns the cpu-power except games, and the database applications seem to favor the UNIX environments.

If MSFT can get their X-86-NT environment to within 25% of the NT/UNIX/LINUX environment I thinkI would start seeing some hope for high end X86, but not for now.
