Re: "Theres a SLOW...SLOW train coming...coming straight at socket 7!" This so-called train has been coming for over a year now, yet market share for alternative (non-Intel) processors continues to increase. M<oreover, the performance gap between Intel's Slot 1 and Socket 7 has continued to narrow. In fact, it will reach an inflection when AMD introduces K6-3 in September. So...maybe you could explain to us why this is the case? Kevin

<K6-2 SLOWER than K6, now thats what I call progress.> Rather sad, isn't it! A bigger, more expensive die and the end result is that unless you are blasting mutant aliens, the K6-me2 is a step backwards in performance. That link also shows both K6 chips losing to a Celeron on Highend Winstone 98 at 300mhz!!! What a laugh!! Now admittedly this isn't the only benchmark out there, but nonetheless, they keep telling us the Celeron is a piece of Sh*t. What does that make the K6-me2???? EP
