Yousef: <<Well first Maxwell, the K6-2 doesn't work at 400mhz and 450mhz ... Secondly, 3DNOW is mainly used for "mutant blasting" and "car racing". These really aren't "business applications">> Why would I want a 400MHz or 450MHz CPU to do "business applications"? I can't type any faster than the computer can update. 99% of the business applications can run fine on the Pentium 200 or K6-200. When you talk about "mutant blasting" in 3-D those systems I mentioned don't have the FP power to play games smoothly. Maxwell
