StockMan, Re: "Lets see, K6 has problems with Win95... K6 performance sucks on Win NT.. K6 works reasonably ok on Win98. 1/3 isn't too bad right?" Good point, StockMan ... I also believe there might have been some Linux operating system problems as well ?? Make It So, Yousef

Now that Win95 doesn't work with K6, its Win95's problem RIGHT. Stockmeister, If CPU designers were held responsible for Microsoft's bugs on their CPU's, they would all be out of work. The real question is "why doesn't Microsoft test their OS releases as thoroughly as Sun does?" Scumbria

StockMoron, re: " Lets see, K6 has problems with Win95...K6 performance sucks on Win NT..K6 works reasonably ok on Win98. 1/3 isn't too bad right?" I think you forgot that: K6/K6-2 has captured over 1/3 of the retail market K6/K6-2 costs 1/3 less than bug infested Pentium II K6-2 is about 1/3 less die size than Pentium II (81 sq mm vs 131) And also, the software timing loop is a Microsoft problem for which there is a solution.
