Mani - Re: " ...Compaq, in keeping with AMD's recommendation, equipped the 5600s with a full 1MB of level 3 cache." Now you know why: a. The K63 had good performance on one or two tests. b. Why K63 systems are going to be expensive if they try to be competitive. Please note: "But Intel can take comfort in the fact that it's still the overall performance leader: The 5600i achieved a WinScore (which incorporates all the discrete benchmarks) of 115, a full 10 points higher than the 105 mark of the 5600s. And that 115 score is actually the slowest of the 500MHz PCs we've tested. (Of course, this is an extremely fast group and the 115 WinScore still represents very solid performance.) The PIII scored its best marks on our CPU, multimedia and AutoCAD tests. Overall, the K6-3 fell in the middle of the pack for all 450MHz systems; its best results came on our CPU, multimedia, Excel and Word tests." Paul
