Making sense out of the numbers First of all, the numbers show that the K6-2 is taking almost no performance hit when you increase the resolution in Quake 2 on a tweaked SLI system. This is very impressive to say the least. There is nothing quite like playing Quake 2 at nearly 80 fps at 1024x768. At this resolution, everything looks very crisp and the enemies in the distant are extremely easy to see, yet the game is running insanely smooth. Two 12 Meg Voodoo 2 cards and a K6-2 350 seem to make the ultimate Quake 2 Deathmatch setup. hardware.pairnet.com

"Fry's still has more varieties of candy bars than Intel has CPU's " You know what you are claiming here EH? You do know how many types and variations of cpu's Intel has ? Phew, wel I admire you for such a statement;) I wouln't dare claim something so unsure;) Maybe intel released 2 other cpu's TODAY ? Who knows. Maybe they did not like the color of the slot, the shape of the cardtridge, heck, maybe they did not like the BOX, _so_ they changed the -cpu- ;) Michael da Kota, FHWL
