If you're getting 38fps then you've maxxed out GPL - you then can't
tell which of the chips is more powerful or has capacity to do more.
Not saying that is the case, just pointing out a possibility. I'd
expect the P2-400 to be the quicker of the two by some margin, but
also to leave by far the bigger hole in your pocket.

Cheers!

John,

    From your post,I'm assuming that 38fps is the max one can get from gpl?
Well,I recently upgraded to a K6-2/350 and a motherboard with 100mhz front
side bus with 64mb of SDRAM. I'm running a Diamond Monster Voodoo1,and I've
seen frame rates as high a 38 in practice. With full fields of 19 cars,I
still see fps in the mid to upper 20s.
