Piece of crap.  Hope to get a nice Athlon XP 1800+ or better within the next few months.

There is one now, but 3Dmark doesn't tell everything...


Yeah.... 'spesh as it's intended for newer tech.  I'd rather have summat like specbench for CPU's, but that costs money IIRC.

I want dual processors... a couple of Athlon XPs would be soooo cool.

Yes, and even for new tech it isn't the best way to measure performance, games are.

I just want to say that I'm sorry for anyone who bought one of the K6 line CPUs, since they're the most horrible CPUs to reach the market since the K5 :)

Edit: Well, I forgot the original celeron with no L2 cache. It sucked big-time too

Ever heard of a Cyrix? Now that was crap.

Yes yes, their MII processors were total crap, but by the P-II time, everyone knew that they were crap, so noone bought their processors, especially those who fell for their marketing campaign (Intel Inside - Cyrix Instead)

I have one. Not on my machine, of course, but in an old box gathering dust. It's a Cyrix P166 (133 MHz). I think I'll use it to play those good old games like Commander Keen, C&C Tib. Dawn, Aces of the Pacific, Future Wars, etc. :D Oh, and with an ancient Cirrus Logic GD5460 on a 14" screen, for authenticities sake. :D

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

The K6-2 wasn't too bad, and at the time it was the best i could afford.  I put together a halfway decent machine for about $600 and so far have only had to replace the vid card (was an ati rage 128, now is a GF2 GTS) and add a little memory.  It has served me well, and i've only had performance issues in the last year or so.  Sadly i don't have the money to upgrade yet.

I believe VIA have designed and built a working motherboard that supports P4's in SMP. However it's not a production unit, so the closest thing would be the new version of the Xeon CPU's.

My all arround box: AMD Athalon 1.3 GHz, 358 MB DDR RAM, Integrated NVIDIA 32 MB graphics(will get top of the line GForce4 soon), and a whopping 56K Modem!!!

Leave it to me to have so much unused power...

Celeron 1.0 GHz here
Not the best CPU out there but not bad either!
I do believe this is the highest-end Celeron available but I'm not sure

1.3GHz is the highest Celeron you can get.
