Gary: <<You mean every existing S7 user can just plug K6-2 into their MB and get the demonstrated performance gain ? That doen't seems to be the case mentioned on AMD's site. Anyone have a definite clue about this ?>> K6-2 runs 2.2V. 2.1V or 2.3V are still OK. If existing MB doesn't have this voltage then you must buy a new MB. <<In my area, SS7 is selling around the same price as LX board(less than $10 difference).>> I can get a FIC 503+ 100MHz FSB with 1M L2 cache for $99 at www.tccomputers.com How cheap can I get a Slot 1 at 100MHz FSB? $99? <<I am wondering why Quake II's and Incoming's programmer cannot tune their program as good as Microsoft. Are Microsoft's programmer smarter or DirectX6 is a better 3D engine ?>> To be able to write good codes programmers must understand their game software. They need also to understand where the bottle neck is and how 3DNOW can resolve this problem. No one say writing software is easy. There are millions of ways of solving the same problem and the best solution is the one with highest benchmark. Maxwell
