OFF TOPIC: I am better off running my whole system at 83 MHz x 4.5 multiplier = 374 MHz, or running the L2 bus at 100 MHz, the CPU at 100 MHz x 3.5 multiplier = 350 MHz, and the DRAM at 66 MHz? Thanks for your input, Kevin PS FYI my K6-350 won't post at 400 MHz, although it may have something to do with my lack of PC100 SDRAM.

McMannis - Re: "A year and a half ago how many top tier OEMs did AMD have? How many do they have now? Is there a trend here? " 18 months ago, AMD had no Top Tier OEM's and their stock was at $48+. When the K6 was introduced it sold for $244, $349 and $469, 166-, 200- and 233-MHz version respectively. Today AMD has IBM, Compaq, HP, Packard Bell, Acer - and their stock is at $17 7/16. And today, the 350 MHz K6-2 sells for $125. Is there a trend here? Paul
