Robert, VIA shipping the MVP3 chipset is the best news I've heard in a long time. Thanks for the good news. I hope these aren't pre-production samples, but production versions and that we see systems soon. Pravin.

Robert and all: VIA was named top supplier by Compaq last year. I won't be surprised the K6 3D will find it's way into a Compaq box before any of us can get hold of one. I have a FIC 2007 motherboard with 1 MB of L2 and a K6-233 and am loving it. I benchmarked it against my PPro-200 with the 440FX chipset, both running NT 4.0, and the K6 is ahead in most tests (other than the highend Winstone, which is helped by the Millenium II in the PPro vs. my S3 GX2 in the K6 machine). It is not an entirely fair comparison, since I have 10ns SDRAM in my K6, whereas I only have 60ns EDO in my PPro (both 64MB). However, my K6 machine is a hell of a lot cheaper (since I paid for that one!). I will rush out to upgrade to the new MVP3-based board once I can get hold of one! Adrian
