>>>Compare two systems side by side. You would find the difference. Get yourself a M2-166Mhz on 83Mhz. You would never to use any Pentium system without complaints.<<< Since the games I play usually require the most processing power. The best way to test it would be to compare the M2-166Mhz with a Pentium II-233 with similiar hardware, (Voodoo 3D graphcis card) and do a Quake II Benchmark. Has anyone done this yet? cl

Using Cyrix 6x86 200MX and loving it. But why does Norton Utilities tell me that it's a 6x86 chip running at 150Mhz? Some other program told me the chip was a 5x86. Do you know what's up? Norton Utilities Benchmark test says I'm running at more than twice the speed of a 133Mhz system (57 vs. 23), yet much less than half the speed of a P-II 300Mhz which benchmarks at 140. My experience is that it runs a tad better than my kids' P200MMX. I'll never use Intel again. Greg
