George, That really worries me. If Kryotec can only get to 500 Mhz with extreme cooling, how is AMD going to do it without? Pravin.

<http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/990222/sc_kryotec_1.html> Funny how Sharky Extreme comes up with much closer results for Quake 2: www2.sharkyextreme.com Quake 2 Timedemo 1 ------------------ K6-3 500 MHz (Kryotech): 110.3 Pentium III 500 MHz: 108.6 Difference: 1.6% Quake 2 Massive 1 ----------------- K6-3 500 MHz (Kryotech): 79.5 Pentium III 500 MHz: 79.0 Difference: 0.6% Quake 2 Crusher --------------- K6-3 500 MHz (Kryotech): 50.2 Pentium III 500 MHz: 50.9 Difference: -1.4% All these tests were done with the Quantum X-24 Voodoo2 SLI PCI card, so this card along with Quake 2 should be the "best-case scenario" for the K6-3 and 3DNow. Pretty good results for the K6-3, but it's not the 30% advantage that KryoTech claims. And remember that the Pentium III enhancements aren't even used in this test. Tenchusatsu
