Come on, guys.  Ziff-Davis and the Computer Shopper have got us all
smoked.  Many of the AMD K6 and Cyrix 6x86 chips don't get recognized as
pentium class cpu's because of the smaller FPU. 
 The way that I understand it is, all of the business-type programs
depend on the instruction stack more than the FPU, so the meat in the
Cyrix and the K6 got put there.  That way, they score really high in
WinBench( a Ziff-Davis product ) and look really good in the Computer
Shopper reviews (also a Ziff-Davis product).
When I take a big spreadsheet home from work and use it on quattro, it
SCREAMS! (I have a 6x86 w/ 16 meg ram. Not much.) If I play quake, now
that's a different story. I am stuck with 320x200 for internet play, and
I can't even run the Hexen II demo without getting "H2 caused an
invalid  page fault in module H2.exe at 014f:00423cbc" within five
minutes.

Yeah, I'm biased.  But that still doesn't explain why you 233mmx guys
are having a problem.  You should be all over H2.

(What was my point again?...)
