Ive heard tell of those who claim they can play Quake just as well on both
the K5-K6 processors, but I keep asking myself the same question, if all I
heard before about the arguments on the Pentium having one major advantage
and playing Quake was it because of it's alleged better FPU then AMD users
really have something other than price to chuckle about; AMD's fpu is
either damn close to being as good as Intel's fpu or it in fact IS as good
as Intel's, in the case it isnt as good as the Intel FPU, AMD can take a
lot of credit there and every other way they beat the Pentium, I would
think people are really dumb to buy a specific processor to play one game a
tad eency weency better than the AMD K6, which beat the Intel Pentium II in
most or all other benchmarks hands down!
