<RE:"A K6-2 333 may beat the Pentium II 300 in Winstone 98, but that's only if the K6-2 is on a 95 MHz bus" Who cares, MHz sells (™Jim McMannis)> Jim, normally I would agree with you. But in this case, if someone buys a 333 MHz K6-2 notebook, hoping to have the fastest laptop in the office, but finds that his notebook feels rather sluggish compared to his co-worker's 300 MHz Pentium II laptop, this will reflect poorly on AMD. I think even AMD's position on their mobile processors is that they are equivalent to a Pentium II at one speed grade below (i.e. K6-2 300 MHz mobile is equivalent to Pentium II 266 MHz mobile). Also remember that no amount of MHz helped the old cacheless Celeron. Tenchusatsu
