Mani, Re: "K6-III has much higher performance compare to the K6-2 ..." Which it should ... The question is whether the K6-3 400mhz has much of an advantage over the K6-2 450/475mhz parts to justify much higher ASP, probably not. Seems that AMD is having some problem "manufacturing" the K6-3 450mhz part ... Wonder why that is ?? Make It So, Yousef

<Yes! there are many. I have seen at least 4 independent bench-marking, all concluding that K6-III has much higher performance compare to the K6-2 and also a higher floating point performance compare to PIII.> K6-III having a higher floating-point performance than Pentium III? Then perhaps you can explain to me how a K6-III 450 MHz has trouble beating a Celeron 400 in Quake II: www4.tomshardware.com <I am surprised that you have not at least see one of these benchmark.> I'm surprised you haven't seen at least one of Herr Uberclockermeister's benchmarks which show how weak the FPU of the K6-III really is.

Mani - Re: " I have seen at least 4 independent bench-marking, all concluding that K6-III has much higher performance compare to the K6-2 and also a higher floating point performance compare to PIII. " Why don't you post 2 or 3 of these? We would LOVE TO SEE FPU BENCHMARKS showing that the Kmart 63 is FASTER than a Pentium III. I'm sure you can furnish these post haste. Paul
