Jim, re <3.5x95MHz> I think this is a smart move. The reason is that there are not too many DIMMs qualified for the true PC100 specs. If you go with 95MHz, almost ANY 10ns SDRAM will work. They are cheaper and it helps to build less expensive PCs. As you have noticed, the PC95 performance is as good as PC100. Regards, - Ali

Jim, Re: Cost vs performance If your only 3D application is 3D Winbench 98, you are correct. Now if you are running Quake II(which seems to be the best 3DNow! optimized game), K6-2-300 is on par with PII 300(within 1-2% difference). K6-2-300 is priced at 281(I don't compare street price but published ones from AMD and Intel) and by June 7, PII 300 will be 320 which would go further to 210 by end of June/July(according to Tom's road map). So what is the advantage of K6-2 here ? Gary
