Uh Chris, he said K7 - 600....FYI, here in Holland, the Athlon is in
stock, together with the mainboards...

Doh....laugh. I read it as 700mhz.  Not sure why.  And yeah, Athlon's are in
stock here too. But nonetheless, point c is still an important point to
consider.

You need to replace a P2-400 already?  Why?

Maybe so, but he said he was buying a system, not parts for a system, so he
had to buy a mommy board any ways (although the Athlon board is more
expensive).

I would also like to add, that I am a happy Athlon 550 owner.

My friend just went from a 400 MHz PII  to a P3 600,  He ended up
returing the P3 -600 because the P3 barely outperformed his PII-400,
And wasn't worth the cost.   Athlon Anyone?
