The AMD K6 is superior in many ways, but inferior in others. In most
buisiness apps, it is fairly quicker than a Pentium at the same clock speed
and (slightly) slower than a PII.  It lags slightly behind the Pentium as
far as FPU.  MMX-wise, it lags behind the pentium.  I think however, that as
long as you spend a little more money on a fast 3D video card (and
considering that it runs about 20% cheaper than a Pentium, you can afford
it), it is the best "bang for the buck".  I have a P200MMX which I got as
soon as the chip came out (yes, I paid too much for it), but the PC I just
built for my friend has an AMD K6 200.  I ran benchmarks on both of them,
and his is about 8% faster than mine. Of course, he has the newer TX chipset
on his motherboard while I am running the older HX, and that may make a
difference too.
