Scott, RE:"AMD has done a great job with processor performance in games. Too bad that if you want to run anything else, you are better off buying an INTC chip." ---- Earth to Scott, Winstone 98... AMD K6-2-400 (CXT Core) 26.8 Pentium II-400 25.6 AMD does pretty well on the other stuff.... There are still a few areas where you would be better off with a Pentium II for the FPU but the K7 will take care of those... Then it appears the Emperor (Intel) will have no clothes except for hyping Katmai instructions...which interesting enough, means a flip flop in Raw FPU vs instruction enhanced FPU... Jim
