Joey, Xeon 400 a big disappointment chiptech.com 98/07/02, 10:59pm - Yup...the Xeon disappointment continues... Travis over at HRC (http://Walden.MVP.Net/~tmiller/) reports on a friend with a Xeon 400. ("The Xeon is only 1 point faster then my test 400 mhz P2 machine...") He implies that it performs much lower than expectations. Travis will take a look at it personally soon, so keep an eye out over there. Petz

Microsoft says "Chrome" requires a P2-350 OR a K6-2-300 or K6-2-333. 98/07/02, 9:30pm - The opinion from one staff member of CPU Madness...I asked their tech staff about the Microsoft 3D internet program Chrome. It reports a minimum requirement of PII-350 to run. Unsure of the capabilities of the K6-2 in Chrome, I emailed those fellows about it. A short, but to the point reply told me that a K6-2-300 or K6-2-333 should do fine where you would need a PII-350. from chiptech.com Petz
