>AMD K6-300mhz on 100mhz board = PII - 300 / 100mhz board Yaawwnn..... Again AMD is stuck sucking wind chasing the tail lights of Intel. Another comparison again fails to demonstrate how AMD's best competes with Intel's best....the PII/400. Handicaps may work on the golf course, but surely you don't expect educated America to ignore the facts and buy the sub-standard? I did'nt think so. So AMD's best is equal to INTC's third string line-up? What else is new. ;-) CPU customers can still get better performance with Intel's second string 350MHz, and 400MHz processors...and better performance can be had at 300MHz as well....here is the performance charts comparing AMD with INTC 300MHz from the same article you reference: anandtech.com Note little 'ole AMD down the list behind 400, 350 and 300MHz INTC. For those who don't wish to look at the chart, here is a cut from it: *"the K6-300 is outperformed by the Pentium II 300 (both running at a 100MHz bus) under Winstone 98"* >Intel has some real competition ! Uh, whatever you say. ;-) Profits would be helpful for AMD....how can anybody compete with the likes of INTC when they can't even pay their own bills? <VBG> PS: It's "MHz", not "mhz" ;-)
