<<Faster?... Passing?.. Please tell me where I can buy >= 400MHz K6? When will that FPU performance improve. (Missing a cylinder here, eh?)>> Are you in the market to get a 400MHz computer? I suggest you go send your $3000+ check to DELL and they'll be happy to send you a PII-400MHz the next day. Personally, I am waiting to buy a K6-3D+ 400MHz in another six months for about $1500. My K6-250MHz (at 83MHz bus speed) is fast enough for me now. It costed me $100 for the MB and $150 for the 233 K6. Maxwell

Jeff, <where I can buy >= 400MHz K6?> You apparently need to rub your glasses and lean out of Intel's embrasure. The speed limit on the MOST roads is 300MHz! Your P-II-400 tires are running off-road and making only smoke, not performance! <When will that FPU performance improve. (Missing a cylinder here, eh?)> No need to. For spreadsheets and tax return is is fast enough. For game racing the whole stack FPU will be replaced by AMD-3D 57-cylinders engine. Hard drive carefully, Jeff. Ali
