It looks all very promising. The gain as usual will differ from program to program. I think Rebel will profit a lot. >Keep up the good work. >Kind regards >fca >PS: Also, Kryotech may give bigger advantages %-wise on a Deschutes than >on a standard Pentium II of same clock speed, as heat may be more of a >limiting factor with the faster L2 cache.... >PPS: I bet you that Deschutes 450MHz is faster than K6 300MHz on Rebel >98.3... :-) I read on Tom's hardware page the little animal costs only $4500 :( After a lot disappointing years they finally have something special and now they want the big bucks. Hope AMD will soon release a compe- titive processor and the price can drop to normal. - Ed -
