There has been a lot of discussion on the K6-2 since its debut. If you are interested in what the consumer community is saying then check out hardware.pairnet.com So far the only good game that everyone is talking about is Unreal. This games has been optimized for 3DNow and kick butts. By June 30 Quake II is releasing the patch for 3DNow. amd.com This is what everyone is waiting for. K6-2 will rule Quake II. Ares Rising and Incoming for 3DNow are also releasing this month. K6-2 QUAKE II Benchmarking bootnet.com Also DirectX 6.0 is due at the end of the month. With all these games are out the K6-2 will be one hot chip for upgrading. K6-2-300 is selling like hot cake for $169! My analysis tells me that the K6-2 will give the PII a lot of trouble. The reason is that the chip is cheap and will get you the PII-400 performance when play games with 3DNow. Maxwell
