Praveen, The thing I like best about the Cybermax 266 K6 system is the following classification: AVAILABILITY: Now I wonder why AMD hasn't officially announced this speed grade if an OEM is stating availability. Someone who has the time should call Cybermax and find out when such a system would really ship. Pravin. PS: Hey, how come you spell your name incorrectly? Just kidding.

Praveen, Thanks for posting the ZDnet review and to keeping with the spirit of this thread. I wish the others here would take there bickering over to the AMD thread. I don't mind comments relating to the news stories but all this trash should stop. Robert

I am surprised that AMD hasn't announced K6-266 officially in COMDEX. It is interesting to notice that Cybermax's Businessmax K6-266 is faster than Dell's PII-266 (Winstone97 52.7 vs 52.2)! zdnet.com My self-assembled Cyrix MX-166Mhz with 32MB on TXPro has the Winstone97 rating of 52.9 with the following components: CPU: Cyrix MX-166Mhz Clock speed: 166Mhz; 83x2 Motherboard: PC-Chip M560 TXPro chipset with 512K L2 cache RAM: 32MB 60ns Micron EDO (16x2) Video Card: Jaton ET6000 with 2.25MB res. 1024x768x256 Hard Drive: IBM Deskstar 5 6.4GB with Ali IDE Win95 DMA33 driver; 1020MB partition OS: Win95 upgrade version I haven't tried the benchmark on K6 with the IBM hard drive yet. You got to be stupid enough to pay extra to buy the flawed Pentium II now!
