Hello.
I have a fairly slow machine and want to upgrade. I have heard and seen results
showing that AMD is better than intel , and i'm not   just talking about the
Athlon. To get to the point which ZD Benchmark would one look at? All the
regular run of the mill ZD Benchmarks shows that the Intel processors should be
faster but it isn't so if you look at Test Suites like the results at Rebel's
homepage. Would you look at Business Winstone99? CPUMark99? FPUWinMark?
3DWinMark? Photoshop Twirl? High End Winstone????not to sound repetitive(but i
do hehe) at rebel's page for instance (this has probably been mentioned here by
others but not discussed in depth)
AMD K6-2 300         0:14    1:01    1:40        2544
Pentium II 333       0:14    1:06    1:47        2538
Pentium II 400       0:12    0:53    1:27        2550
Pentium II Xeon 400  0:09    0:47    1:17        2556
AMD K6-2 400         0:09    0:46    1:16        2557
Pentium II 450       0:11    0:50    1:21        2554
Pentium II Xeon 450  0:09    0:45    1:13        2558
AMD K6-2 450         0:09    0:43    1:10        2560
AMD K6-3 450         0:07    0:36    1:00        2566
Pentium III 500      0:09    0:44    1:12        2557
AMD K6-2 500         0:08    0:40    1:04        2564

How is a K6-2 450 faster than a Pentium II Xenon 450!!!!!   I missed the ZD
Benchmark for that one i guess. Maybe soomeone can clear this up for me  I would
really appreciate it.  Thank You
