The Pentium2/300 was exactly 1.57 times faster than my K6/200. I think Mchess on a p2/300 would run a little faster than Mchess on k6/233 Peter used in Paris. I have heard AMD has problems with the 233 CPU's. In general the k6/200 runs ok, but some 233 run not steadily. They crash depending on heat and motherboard ... It looks AMD has problems to bring out faster CPU's for the same reasons. So the p2/300 is in fact leading although it is very expensive.
