Actually, the AMD K6-III 450MHz performs almost like an Pentium II 450MHz.
Got the AMD at Home, the Pentium II at work. I prefere the AMD :)
Many people are talking about unstable AMD-Systems etc. But most of the
time, they don't inform themselves what runs how and where.
Since the beginning I run AMD CPU's and never had a problem. I fried on
Motherboards AGP-Power line once because the Board didn't stand the Load
of the Voodoo-III 3000 Board I had inside.
