Some people are hard learners, the problem is with the K chip. It may be faster
then Intel but the Intel is the better chip. Who knows maybe the K7 has solved
some of the problems I have seen in the K6 chip, but I will wait till I see it.

The point is you do not lose that much playing with the Intel chip, and you gain
far more in stability and reliability then you ever lose in speed.
