Would it be significantly faster than a PII 266 with GPL anyhow?
I did not know where to post this so I attempted to mask my CPU question by
reference to the game I need the upgrade for - fair?

Uhh..I like to keep current with hardware, so could you please let me know
where I can buy a PII 700? Then I can post my opinion on how the
performance compares to an AMD K6-2 350. Maybe I shouldn't jump at the 700
and i should just go ahead and wait for the PII 900 or PII 1000. Since the
PII 700 is out already, they can't be far behind.

I'd appreciate a link to where you saw that one...

Don't worry Daxe _almost_ all of us got your point.

Yea, it isn`t !
We are about a year away
Well, you CAN buy a C366A today, and run it at 5.5x 100Mhz, or ( whit some
luck, and good cooling ) at 112Mhz, and that thing is CHEAP !
Intel is slowing the bussiness down, so they can keep selling a *little*
faster (and more expensive) CPU`s from mouth to mouth !
So, 600Mhz isnt far away at all, I was running my system at 504Mhz (2.0V !!,
no extra cooling, no overheating, and it was a P2-300 ! ) for half a year,
now i run my C366A at 616 Mhz (2.2V, and an extra fun inside the case) and
it IS rock stable !
Whit celerons coming over 400Mhz factory settings, and P3`s over 500Mhz, we
are very close to be able to see that kind of perf in most of the serius
simracers PC, and we DO need that power to run GPL 100%, do we ? yea we do
! )
Back to the original question....no way, that AMD K6-2 3D 350 will never get
close to the perf of an Intel celeron of the same clock speed, not for GPL
anyway, maybe if the actual game DO uses 3Dnow! it is possible to gain some
speed, but the lack of 3dnow! support isnt looking good at all !

sorry for the real bad english !

Bad URL Dave !
I don`t care if someone else had to use extra cooling, i know that this
first series of C366A are capoble of reaching 550+, and some 600+, and they
aren`t even mulipleyer locked (!), so you are do not have to use 5.5 multi,
if you wanna go higher/lower you are wellcome ! I bet it is going to change
real soon, but i don`t care until my CPU runs fine !
If you remember i posted the first rewiev of those Celeron 266`s running at
450, and those P2-300 running over 500 to this newsgroup a long, long time
ago, when noone ever know what a SL2W8 is, and no1 belived me eighter !
Thats it, it isnt fake !
Tell me what benchmars you wanna see !

sorry for the bad english
Thanks for the feedback - but what's the K7 story. It sounds too perfect.

I've got a C366, it will not run at 550 Mhz, even with 2.3 volts. I have not
checked mine, but I think they are multipiler locked. You must have a
pre-release version.

They are multiplier locked (as are most celerons) but not clock-speed
locked. Thus you can, switch from running at 66MHz x5.5 to running at
100Mhz x 5.5. Of course the chip won't run that hot so it'll be totally
unstable. (Unlike the C300 which was often stable when switched from 66 to
100 and thus often would run as a C450).

I bought one, and it SUCKED. Comparatively, it ran about like a PII
266.
I dusted off the Credit Card and bought a Pentium II 450. Hell, almost
had to take out a 3rd mortgage!
