Tenchusatsu, You are right with these figures. Please accept my apologies for quoting the wrong Winstone97 (K6 vs cacheless PII) from Anand Hardware. PII core is not so out-of-date as I believe. Thanks for corrections! Fuchi

Tenchusatsu- "After all, a Celeron 300A running on a 100 MHz front-side bus (3x CPU multiplier) gets a score of 26.4, 0.7 points more than the K6-2 on the 100 MHz bus!" Show me ONE Celeron 300A that can be purchased at any store you want that can run at 3 * 100MHZ. Intel chips are clock-locked. Tom got a special chip that wasn't locked. So, until Celerons run on a 100MHz bus, that benchmark is useless. The only one that matters at this time is the one you stated- K6-2 300 25.7, Celeron 300A 25.1. The reason the Celeron A is even that fast is because its cache runs at full clock speed. Bus speed doesn't make as much of a difference as L2 clock speed in Celerons and K6-2s.
