AJ Berger, I noticed no one answered your question about AMD info websites, so here's a couple (other than SI): chiptech.com JC's PC News and Links processor.org The Brotherhood of the CPU 3dnow.net The 3DNow Now! page amdzone.com As an example of whats out there, here's the URL of a review of the (soon to be released) K6-2-400 MHz. processor.org Here's a nice juicy quote: Now imagine my surprise when I got this chip to run beyond 500Mhz (at 504Mhz to be precise) in less than 15 minutes! The speculation that the K6-2 chips faster than 350 MHz will have an improved core must be true. Performance at 500 MHz is only 0.3 to 0.8 Winstone points behind overclocked Celeron-A chips, which are equivalent to Pentium II as well. This is absolutely amazing because the L2 cache in the K6-2 system is running at only 100 or 112 MHz, compared to 500 MHz in the Celeron-A systems! The improvements in the core of the K6-2 must be substantial. Imagine how fast the K6-2 will be with on-chip L2 cache running at 500 MHz! Petz
