Now I'm very confused.

Your K6-2/400 came in almost 10% faster than my K6-3/450.

Even at equal clock speeds, the K6-3 should signifiantly outperform the K6-2,
since its L2 cache runs at core speed, instead of 100MHz.

It's true that I'm running Win98 and you're running NT, but I can't believe that
could make such a big difference.

Any ideas?
