Tench,

Re: PIII

I think that you have to agree that the PIII is an evolutionary step and certainly not a revolutionary one.

I have also noticed that most of the PIII reports are less than stellar for the chip.

I am starting to have my doubts about how the processor will be recieved in the marketplace without significant price cutting by Intel.

If K-3's are truly available in volume at 400-450Mhz speeds at much less than half price, you have to question the sanity of the folks who will buy it.

It's get another great opportunity for our friends at AMD to fumble.

Regards,

Kash

Tenchusatsu, Re: Kevin, he's underclocking a Pentium III at 333 MHz on a 66 MHz bus and comparing that to a Pentium II at 333 MHz

I am curious to see if he can install the OS on a
ZIP disk and do the test from there, any chance
it is no faster than a 386 ?

Gary
