Go up one level in this thread


Of course. I just wanted to make it clear that there's no significant difference
between a K6-2 and a PIII (except price :). That was a little hard to tell from
your list.

(In fact, some programs run significantly faster on the K6-2 than the PIII.)

The K6-3 and Celeron are kind of wildcards. They have on-die L2 caches that
might seriously benefit some chess programs.
