FLASH: OT Athlon vs Pentium III

[Ben Park]

>From what I've heard of the Athlon (and I don't have one myself, so I guess

I can't really comment)...

It can do everything the PIII can do, plus all the AMD K6-2+3 functions,

making it the best all-rounder.

So if a pentium chip was required, then the Athlon would still work.

...and I have to agree with Branden...I've used Cyrix's and AMD's before and

never had trouble with them.

anywho - sorry for dragging out this off topic...err...one that I

started...whoops...
