Well yeah but you have to know what you're doing with them... if you
play games, make sure you take full advantage of 3dnow! in the games
themsevles and drivers wherever possible or they'll be slowish.
I've got the K6-3 450 and it's fine, matches PIII's of 450-500mhz
*so long as* I've got proper 3dNow! happening (using the correct
drivers etc., and is only really that good in games that have
GOOD 3dNow! built in.) I use the AMD patch for Quake 2, and the
miniGL's are fastest and have good 3dnow support. The ICD's are
getting faster but still up to 10% slower than miniGL's on games
that have them.
Apparantly Quake 3 didn't do a real great job with 3dNow! and
they did a better SSE implementation. It's not a great CPU for
this game, but I already owned it when that game came out and it
was very cheap and it plays ok. Good enough for me... at least
till I get my tbird!
