Paul, Did you go to the PIII extravaganza in SJ today. I guess all the killer apps were going to be there. Have you seen any PR on these must have apps for PIII. If you went, what sort of improvements were folks talking about for KNI over 3dNow. Regards, Kash

Re: "Plus, K6III does not have KNI nor the security features of the Pentium III." Amusing how you try to spin an irrelevant feature and a negative feature into a net positive. I think the K6-3 400 will outperform (or perform on par with) a PIII-450 with only 1 mb of cache on the motherboard (most mobo's now feature at least this much) in office aps. Re: "The K6-3 is about the same die size as a Pentium III plus it requires MORE L3 cache than the Pentium III requires L2 cache." I guess it never occured to you that the SRAMs used on the Super 7 boards are DIRT CHEAP while the 250 MHz SRAMs used in the PIII brick are EXPENSIVE. More than twice as expensive, actually. Kevin

RE:"Only if 2 MegaBytes of L3 cache are stuffed into the motherboard. K6 -III systems won't be cost-competitive. The K6-3 is about the same die size as a Pentium III plus it requires MORE L3 cache than the Pentium III requires L2 cache. Plus, K6III does not have KNI nor the security features of the Pentium III."... --- Is that the best you can do? You must be worried. Clinton should have hired you to spin-meister his way out of the Monica Debacle. He'd have come out smelling like a rose rather than a cigar.

Paul, Only if 2 MegaBytes of L3 cache are stuffed into the motherboard. K6 -III systems won't be cost-competitive. The cost savings of a K6-III vs. a PIII will allow you lots of cache, a great graphics card, and a fabulous dinner at a ***** restaurant. Plus, K6III does not have KNI nor the security features of the Pentium III Even more reason to buy AMD. Scumbria
