StockMan - Re: "Also the overclocked pmmx puts k6/233 to shame, no increase in power?"

That's why AMD has to charge 25% less than an Intel Pentium MMX for their K6.

Or expressed differently, that's why Intel can sell their Pentium MMX for 25% more than the AMD K6 - and get it!

Paul Stockman, <overclocked pmmx puts k6/233 to shame> You are shameless bashers with little brains. Check this survey out and see who is who:

sysopt.com

You will not find any P5MMX (in any overclocked flavour) even close to the top 20 performers, where K6 and M2 share positions with P-II/266.

Paul, you were bashing the Uberclockmeister Tom for overclocking practice with K6. Now you are singing hymns to overclocked Pentium. So what is your real position? Or do you just receive new directives from Intel marketing department, or what?
