Quake II: tomshardware.com As you can see, Tom has been bribed by Intel. He didn't show the QUAKE II performance at 1024 X 768 resolution. He only showed at 640X480 which Bootnet showed little performance difference between PII and K6. I am wondering how much stipend he gets from Intel for praising all the good words. Had he been more objective everyone would respect his opinion. Maxwell

<AGP Graphic Port is 32 bits at 66MHz: Output Rate= 66MHz*32bits = 2.112 Gbits/sec> Make that 133mhz for AGP or ~532 MBytes ps. EP

Maxwell, all that demonstrates this Quake II was coded to run 3D instructions. Have you looked at other parameters, such as vanilla MMX, FPU, etc? Time Traveler does not disputes you that this K6-2 is a very good chip but just usual applications. Also, what the heck is Quake II anyway? Although Time Traveler does play games, Quake II seems to escape Time Traveler's attention. Maybe Time Traveler just does not play mindly shoot-and-blast type games. Time Traveler
