<Elmer, looks like your hopes for a lack of Super-7 100 MHz boards are dashed: >

I don't remember stating I hoped there wouldn't be any. It doesn't mean anything for a MB distributor to sell these boards. What will be the test is if IBM-Compaq offers them. They are the ones who have quality standards to defend. Keep your eye open tomorrow to see if they offer any.

<So the availability is equal, but the AMD performance is better and the AMD price is much lower.>

Offering possibly overclocked boards does not equal the same availability in my book. AMD's performance is still poorer and probably always will be, except possibly for blasting mutant aliens. If that's your line of interest then I hope you enjoy yourself. Myself, I have work to do.

Some websites with additional K6-2 information:
chiptech.com - JC's PC News & Links
cpu.simplenet.com - The Brotherhood of the CPU

From JC's site, here's a price schedule:
CPU...........Now..........Late June
PII-300.........$375.(251)...$200
K6-2-266......$185.(139)...$115
K6-2-300......$281.(179)...$147
K6-2-333......$369.(n.a)....$228

The prices in parenthesis are added by me -- they are the lowest price on Pricewatch as of today, 5/27/98.

Petz , thanks for RealWorld URL...
did you notice the comment underneath re. nearly all K6s testing as 300mhz back over a month ago ?
That explains the sudden drop in prices for K6-300 in the last few days since they have now arrived as completed product ,
