Elmer - Re: "We've been told by others on the AMD thread that the 100mhz bus wouldn't help any. They couldn't be wrong could they?" It never occurred to me that they could be wrong! Now let's see - 333, 350 and 400 MHz Pentium IIs are too fast. Celeron is too slow! Only the K6 has the right speed for the mass market! Paul

Elmer: <26% & 24% are greater increases than the actual increase in clock speed. I don't understand how this is possible.> <It must be the graphics card that accounts for the speedup.> Good observation, Elmer. You have some hope... If you creatively tweak the reference 333-MHz board with ISA video card, you can get even better relative speedup. Look at this link: x86.org where our mutual friend managed to proof that a P2-300 system can be as fast as Pentium-166. Enjoy. Ali

Paul, 26% & 24% are greater increases than the actual increase in clock speed. Actually your speed increase has much (most) to do with the increase in the bus speed (which BTW is a 50% increase from 66MHz on the 400MHz machine). I don't understand how this is possible See above. When viewed from a bus speed perspective 26% is not out of line at all. But of course many things combine (CPU Clock, Bus clock, graphics adaptors, optimizations) to make the net speed increase of 26%.
