Tench, The jump from Winstone 98 to 99 gave the Intel chips about a 10% jump. putting the cache on the die of the K6 jumped the K6-III back ahead. The Celeron is not necessarily a superior chip to the K6-2 but for the FPU. FPU intensive programs aren't all as prevalenat as "gamer" websites like Anand and Tom might lead you to believe. For the rest of the 95% of computer users the K6-2 is a good choice. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Celeron but the K6-2 is a fine chip. Besides, for the masses, Mhz sells (TM McMannis) anyway. Jim
