Hallo!

The only thing I know is that Ed Schröder (Rebel) says it is 6% slower then AMD
K6-3 (clockwise). So I guess it´s about the same for other chessprograms. With
better motherboards I guess it is no difference.

It´s faster then Pentium3 especially on "big" programs.

As far as I know only Crafty and Gandalf3 dislikes AMD for some reason.
