Kevin,
You SHOULD notice the difference. I did the same experiment in a system - however with a huge ram of 256MB having first a K6-200, moving it to K6/2-350. However especially in Win95/98 the harddisc part can be a real bottleneck. Try to get a GOOD advanced caching program like the thing in the Norton Utilities 3.0, Hurricane 98, or get 384MB and set the Swapfile(s) option off. Then You will see what happens when You make the upgrade. Also You should max out other performance settings regarding Your mainboard (especially getting rid of any "Auto" configuration settings that normally hinder performance..)

best regards
CROSSY

Kevin - Re: "Did you enjoy AMD's revenue predictions today?"

I've always enjoyed AMD's predictions.

The only time AMD has made a profit in recent history is when AMD DIDN'T MAKE ANY PREDICTIONS.

Think about that, Kevin !
