Ow and I forgot this about the K-6-2 with 3d-now.: --------------------------------------------------------------------- With its SIMD-style instructions and dual register execution pipelines, the AMD-K6-2 processor can deliver up to four floating point results per clock cycle. The AMD-K6-2/333 has a peak floating point performance of 1.333 Gigaflops, significantly greater than the 0.333-Gigaflop peak performance of a Pentium II 333, or the 0.4-Gigaflop peak performance of a Pentium II 400. The AMD-K6-2/300 has a peak floating point performance of 1.2 Gigaflops, or four times the 3D processing power of a Pentium II 300, rated at peak performance of 0.3 Gigaflops . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I think I made myself clear now ?

Re: "The K6-2 beats higher-clocked pII's with ease." I guess we will all have to suffer through the new members for awhile while they these wornout claims. Re: "a Celeron 300 just is no competion to a K-6-2 300" . . "Amd beats the Celeron on every aspect" Well, not really. Notice how the Celeron beats both the K6 and the K6-me2 on high end Winstone 98 under WinNT 4.0 when all are running at 300mhz with a 100mhz bus. It also beats the K6 at 300/66. tomshardware.com I realize this is just 1 benchmark, and there are many that show the opposite results, but I am just pointing out that not all show the Celeron losing. All this will soon be moot with the intro of Mendocino. If you want to blast aliens then get a K6-xx for the next few months until Katmai comes out. Otherwise the K6 is an alsoran to Intel's lowend offerings. Always has been and always will be. A good chip but never a great one. EP
