What we have been waiting for: Anand admitting that his K6-2 system wasn't running under optimal conditions. Jim Navas of NCE Enterprises emailed Anand regarding the testing procedures in his review of the K6-2 400MHz chip. Within the email exchange, Anand admits he did not use the new "VIA BMIDE" driver that should increase the performance of the chip. While this added performance may not enable the K6-2 to reach the performance of its competitor's same clock speed processor, it will prevent the chip from looking as if it is barely faster than its competitor's lower clock speed chip, as the review indicated, and therefore wrongly influenced the readers thoughts.
