<ANAND prooved that when You disable the L2 cache, the K6-2 is faster per clock-Mhz than the P-II.> Actually, Anand's test itself should be taken with a grain of salt. (Sooner or later, all these benchmarks and predictions are going to cause heart attacks, thanks to all these grains of salt!) The K6 was faster than the Pentium II if only the PII's L2 cache was disabled, meaning that the K6's L2 cache on the motherboard was still active. This test is moot because Intel already proved that with the cacheless Celeron. The K6 and the P-II were more even when the L2 caches of both processors were disabled. Tenchusatsu
