Read about the Deschutes on the 440BX... It's at sysdoc.pair.com (Tom's Hardware Page). The good news is that there is little performance gain from 100 MHZ bus (3-5%), which comes at the price of needing high-grade SDRAM. The bad news is that the 350 and 400 MHz Pentiums come out in April. Will corporate buyers be rational? Or will the Intel "I've got more megahertz marketing"? I'm looking for a good price on a 233 or 266 MHZ PII myself. I wonder what the K6 will sell for in April. I bet the 233 K6 is less than $100. Matt Short AMD, looking for a takeover.

Pravin, Are you sure about these numbers? I didn't realize the difference between Win95 and WinNT was that great for the Intel processors. I don't think the K6 shows nearly that great an improvement going from Win95 to NT. How comparable were the systems regarding memory, disk subsystems graphics etc. If these numbers are correct it shows why AMD usually publishes Win95 numbers, rather that go head to head under NT. EP
