Re: "Are we looking at the same set of benchmarks? I see the K6-3 beating any Intel offering clock for clock in business aps. " I don't know what you are looking at but I see Intel winning clock for clock on 10 of 13 benchmarks, several by huge margins. Furthermore, Intel's clock rates are higher to widen the gap. anandtech.com EP

Kevin, you should take a look at Herr Uberclockermeister's: www5.tomshardware.com These are Quake 2 Crusher tests which include the new Voodoo3 from 3Dfx, a Voodoo2 SLI, a Riva TNT, and an ATI Rage 128. Pentium III 500 wins them all, and this is without the SSE support. The AMD K6-3 450 beats the Celeron 400 with the VoodooX cards, but they lag behind with the other cards. Also, interestingly enough, the K6-3 does better with the Voodoo2 SLI than it does with the Voodoo3 in Quake 2. So like I said before, if all you want is to play Quake 2 with a Voodoo2 SLI card, you should go for the K6-2 or the K6-3. If you want to play any other game, or if you want to use any other graphics card, you might find the 3DNow support lacking. And like I said before, AMD had nine months to make things right.
