Subject: How good is AMD K-7 Athlon for computer programs?

Every once in a while the topic of computer processors shows up.
Well, I was just looking at the "computer shopper" and they were talking about
the K-7 Athlon, from AMD.  It looks like the 600 MHZ Athlon is faster than the
PIII 600 MHZ.  Independent testing from a video game magazine seemed to confirm
that point of view.

Has anybody had a chance to use computer programs with this processor?
It definitely seems interesting.
btw, there is also a 650 MHZ version of the Athlon too, but I'm not sure it's
that big a jump from the 600 MHZ.
