Re: "By contrast, K6-2 upgrades slated for release on Feb. 22 will run at speeds of only 400 and 450 MHz, according to sources." I guess that puts AMD (very temporarily) within ZERO speed grades of Intel. <GGG> Kevin

If this is what you are talking about I think you read it wrong. "By contrast, K6-2 upgrades slated for release on Feb. 22 will run at speeds of only 400 and 450 MHz, according to sources."... The upgrade for thw K6-2 is the K6-3. that's what the author is refering to... Of course...the author is your typical non-tech type who only knows MHz when they say "only 400 and 450". But little do they know a K6-3-400 and 450 will out run a Pentium II-450 and 500 on most everything....then again, MHz Sells (TM McMannis) Jim
