RE: <In fact, by using standard binaries, the K7 is fighting with one hand behind its back, AND WINNING.> Are these standard Spec binaries? Do you know where they came from? Who provides them?

Petz - Re: "He didn't tell us what the benchmark was back then, did he. In fact, we later found out it was 3D Winbench using 3DNOW optimizations. The difference now is that the benchmark is clearly stated. In fact, by using standard binaries, the K7 is fighting with one hand behind its back, AND WINNING." You have never seen a K7 system and you are declaring it a winner ! And you dismiss Sander's misleading lies on the K6-2 and accept the K7 "Dirk-marks" as the Gospel truth. Glad to see you're still a sucker for everything AMD tells you. Paul
