You must have been smoking the Computer Shopper.  The last review of the
K6 chip in there has a little sentence in there about how a K6 was a
good value for the money if FPU performance _wasn't that critical._ 
After 3 or 4 pages about what hot silicon it is, and all its great
WinBench scores, they toss that in at the end.

WinBench - Ziff Davis product
Computer Shopper - Ziff Davis product
Bias? Maybe.

K6's scream on Word and Excel and all that, but FPU is not taxed on
those programs like it is on Quake.  If you bought your machine to take
work home on, that's a great machine, but forget it for Quake. FPU's
where it's at for Quake, and only the Pentium delivers the goods.

Sorry!
