man i don't get it, you guys slander each other over nothing.......here is a little table to help you guys out...i'm not being a smartass, but i just can't stand it when someone blurts out the wrong thing in a quick post: intel is intel, is intel, is intel.......pwhatever is a pentiumwhatever amd has a story behind their chips....when the intel pentium chip came out, amd was shocked that they got it on the market very quickly.....when amd got wind of this, they quickly suped up their 486 and made the 5x86-120, and 5x86-133....these chips have 486 pinouts, voltages, and the same sizes with different clock speeds... now when amd finally got their head out of their ass and started messing with research and development, they developed the K5 chip series also known as the 5k86...just to confuse the people of the world(i can see they've succeeded)....these come in K5-75, K5-100, and K5-133......these chips have pentium pinouts so they will work in pentium motherboards just like a pentium....though benchmark tests proved them to be slower than the rest, amd was happy to have a foot in the door (more like a finger in the slamming door).....well, then when cyrix came along....a split second after intel's pentium, they blew the doors off of them both.....all in all, look for a p-rating......this is how manufacturers compare their speeds by a p-rating benchmark test.....just for your information, the 5x86-133 runs JUST AS FAST as a pentium 75.......so if you wanna save some bucks in the short route, buy a 5x86-133 in the long run, the intel pentium is your best bet........any questions, e-mail me, any flames....hey man we are all entitled to our opinions, just don't SHOVE yours down my throat.....and to the original poster of this message, sorry you had to get dicked around by the rest of the world, but hey i guess this is life David Wess <dwess@wess.com> wrote in article <32a62bc1.5972237@paperboy.ids.net>... > stephenk@netcom.com (Stephen Knilans) wrote: > > >In article <32a3a1ba.16725450@paperboy.ids.net> dwess@wess.com (David Wess) writes: > >>stephenk@netcom.com (Stephen Knilans) wrote: > >> > >>>BTW, what is the name of your company? > >> > >>You don't really expect him to answer, to you ?? > >> > >> > >>David Wess > >> > >>dwess@wess.com > >>AOL: davidw214 > >>Compuserve: 76336,317 > >>Prodigy: FDBW84a > > > >Actually, I could hope!
