Yousef, since you seem content to continue to post your FUD, below is the quote from Anand's CONCLUSION on the K6-300, in its entirety:

anandtech.com

"AMD K6/300 Processor Review
Conclusion

Again we are faced with the same dilemma, K6 or Pentium II? A quick recheck of the average prices on the Net resulted in a rewording of the Conclusion to this review. The AMD K6-300 and a MVP3 board will run you at least $100 less than a Pentium II 300/LX combo. That itself is a big enough difference to want to go with a K6-300, however it doesn't end there. In order to make a accurate comparison you must use a Pentium II - 300 running on a 100MHz bus speed, available on a BX board...making that price difference even more than $100.

AMD managed to pull a knock-out in this Second Round, let's see how well the availability of the K6-300 stands, and hopefully the price will continue to drop making this an even better deal. The K6-300 isn't the fastest thing out there, but for those of us that can't afford the outstanding price of the newly released Pentium II - 400 it becomes a much more intelligent choice."

Get it?

Kevin

yousef,

Why don't you print out the CONCLUSION? It's quite obvious that the K6-300, on an mVP3 board, is as fast as a PII-300 with business applications. Why pay the extra $100 for the OUTDATED Intel system? (getting a BX board and PC100 RAM will increase the price differential even more).
