<Given the price of PIII, I suspect that you will be able to buy a K6-3, add 2MB of L3, buy a killer graphics card, and still have money left over from the savings of not buying Intel.>

Then you'll want your money back when you find out that those high-end applications, including those heavily into 3-D rendering and/or floating-point, is much weaker on the K6-3 than the Pentium III.

Of course, for business applications, K6-3 = K6-2 = Pentium II = Celeron according to you, so watch as that K6-3 is sold at lower prices than AMD would like to admit.

Except that most people will buy Intel.

As always.

The Pentium III is available.

Now.

The K6-3 was due in the second half of 1998 - late - ain't it ?
