Yousef - RE: "Oh yes, How could I miss those Quake II results ... The NT business results "pale" in comparison. <ggg> How many more people will be buying NT systems for business versus "gamers" wanting Quake II ... waiting Cringe/Shawn." The K6-2 was never aimed at the NT market. Wait for the K6-3. {Enter Paul's comment} Then, more gamers AND businesses will buy. Your wait is over, but I am still waiting for you to answer those questions. Seriously though- Will the extra L1 cache be noticeable in ANY applications? I always thought "Business" applications were cache dependent, but those benchmarks showed otherwise.

Unlike you, AMD is fully aware of the importance and potential of the gaming-market. Look at Nvidia and 3Dfx, those can survive and build up capital just and only by selling products to the gaming market. Cant be that small, not ? Even Matrox understood that they could not only sell products for the high end and business markets, and with the G100 and G200 they made a big stip into the multimedia "mutant alien blaster" market. With reasonable succes.. So I do think that the gaming-market is of uppermost relevance concerning cpu's , 3d video and sound.
