Intel rulz when it comes to games. I have never seen a single game especially 
3D that runs faster than the intel processor. Quake runs fantastic on pII and 
on ppro, but seems  it cannot run older games like duke nukem quite as fast as 
the pentium MMX series.

When it comes to work performance in win95, the k6 MMX and cyrixMX overtake the 
intel pentium MMX by a long shot. 

So it is obvious for value for money, work side,I recommend the k6 MMX, else if 
more inclined torwards the game world, get the intel pentium MMX and if totally 
into games, get the N64!
