Elmer,

K6-3D 300/100 Winstone 98 (more to PII's advantage than Winstone 97) = 21.8

Pentium II 300/100 Winstone 98 = 22.7.

The difference is negligible. Plus, the K6 chip with 3D drivers lets you blast space mutants faster.

Not to mention the K6 is MUCH cheaper.

So to say, "the PII easily out performs the K6-x clock for clock" is just plain inaccurate.

What is accurate is that the K6 EASILY outperforms the PII dollar for dollar.

Elmer,

Both Celeron and PII came off the same wafer. Celeron is PII except that Intel put in a less functional chipset, remove the cache, and w/o the brick cover. It is like a carmel coated candy apple and a chocolate coated one.
