Why does the title ask about the AMD K6 and all of you talk about your
AMD K5's? I've got an AMD K6/233 and it's several times faster than my
Pentium 120. I can play Quake, Redneck Rampage and all my other games
at the highest resolutions and other settings without a hitch. And as
far as compatability goes, I've got thousands of megs worth of
software and I haven't found anything that it won't run better than
any of my two Pentiums. The K5 was AMD's answer to the 486 that fits
on a Pentium motherboard. The K6 is AMD's answer to the Pentium
itself. Give me a K6 over a Pentium anyday.
