How can hiarcs 6 possibly come so low down on your list? Even alot less
than hiarcs 4?
And is k6-3 clearly better than k6-2?
And is Rebel realy that bad with amd? What's wrong?
And is there any point in upgrading to Athlon? Or other? (I have k6-3 400mhz
         and I'm waiting to see which is strongest program, or which two.
         Might it not be Rebel Centuary)?
  Thanks!
