Re: "I suggest you read up on why AMD and cyrix came up with the PR rating. It was because a 133Mhz 6x86/K5 == PR200 6x86." Maybe this will help you understand: amd.com AMD never produced a K5 with a greater PR than 166. If I remember correctly, the actual internal clock speed of this chip was 133 mhz; but it offered performance comparable to a vanilla 166 mhz Intel Pentium (that is, 586/P54C, NOT, as you say, 686). This is my last response to you. Individuals who haven't yet figured out that its more desirable to produce 100% 233 mhz chips than a mix of 166, 200 and 233's, and nevertheless remain as arrogant as you are not worth the time. exchange2000.com Kevin
