aj... Did you read this one? zdnet.com This was interesting... "2) The K6-3 is technically superior to the PIII. Floating-point aside, the K6-3 will perform like a PIII Xeon/Celeron hybrid, in that it has on-chip L2 (256K worth) running at full processor speed, and SIMD instructions." and this real gut wrencher... "Intel will start losing sales dollars as consumers flock to cheaper Celeron and K6-3 processors, and it will start cutting prices (and profits) on the huge inventory of PII chips so that it can make room for cheaper PIII chips. The company will end up imploding itself into oblivion" ---- check these poll results... cgi.zdnet.com
