Maxwell,

Re: "Just for you, I heard a rumor that Gateway 2000 will use K6-3 ..."

Will you post your source, Maxwell ... or ... are you just "clowning around" ??

Make It So,
Yousef

Maxwell, I'm more concerned why Compaq is only seling the AMD 233 at radio shack. There is no AMD 266 offering nor AMD 300... Instead CPQ has a Pentium II 300 offering. What do you suppsoe is going on??

More good news for AMD: SUPER 7 IS HERE
From Anand's Hardware page, anandtech.com

April 21, 6:13 PM SUPER 7 IS HERE
I'm running a K6 - 300 at 100 x 3.0, without ANY problems at all...here's something to keep you amazed at what AMD in combination with VIA (MVP3) has been able to achieve, at this setting the K6-300 gets a Business Winstone 97 score of 66.2! That is dead on the mark when compared to a Pentium II - 300, here we go...finally, some competition from AMD.

I'm overclocking the chip now...more later...


Today, 4/22 he says he's running the K6-300 at 350MHz, it would probably run faster, but the Super 7 mobo lacks some voltage settings.

Anand is testing a vanilla K6. The K6-3D has some core improvements (probably L1 cache) which speed it up 10% or so, even WITHOUT the 3D Windows 95 drivers due in a few months.
