what is the fastest CPU in the pentium I series? K6 233 or Intel 233 ????
I tried both. K6 is very fast but was harder to overclock for me. The Max I reached maintaining my system stable was 225Mhz(3X75). I settled for the Pentium since I was able to overclock it to 250Mhz (3X83) with ASUS TX97. I get a slightly lower processor occupancy in GP2 than with K6. However the F1RS demo ran just the same way using K6 or Intel.

Depends on if you're talking interger or floating point calculations. Interger = AMD. Floating point = Intel. Many games emphasize floating point. Mike > what is the fastest CPU in the pentium I series? > K6 233 or Intel 233 ????

Your Wrong about the floating point. Only one game really requires floating point and thats Quake. I have a pentium 133 and an AMD K5 166 - 116 and the AMD Crushes the pentium on Moto Racer GP. On the AMD all my games run faster on the AMD except Quake then the pentium is abit faster. Intel is no match for the power of AMD in the socket 7!!!!!!!!!!!! DOWN WITH INTEL.........You Intel Scum.....The AMD rebel will Destroy the INTEL DEATH STAR... ___ / o \ X- (-oo-) [-o-] {P II } X- X- [-o-] \___ / X- X- X-

> Your Wrong about the floating point. Only one game really requires > floating point and thats Quake. Many more to follow; on Intel chips, still the market leader :-), FP is much faster, and you'll see most re-engineered or newly-engineered games moving to use floating point for that very reason. (That, and it's a lot easier to keep track off when you're tired than fixed point math. :-) ) ---Jim
