I can only comment on K6-2's, they are the only ones i have used, 3 to date,
all have been fantastic. I think that in general, a cpu by itself is
meaningless. you must consider thecache/ mb and ram as well.
the amd's are socket 7 boards, which i think are very mature.
couple a k6-2 with a 100Mhz board, 64Mb of PC100 ram and 512kb of cache, you
will spend less than an intel board and be happy.
buy from a known reputable dealer. stick with a good board. (my personal
favorites are asus and soyo) wathch the specs, soem boards clock down for
certain chips, a 400 @ board speed of 66hz does not outperform a 300 @
100Mhz.
in my past i have used 8088's to alphas to p5/p6/p7 and amd's
the amd's have been the best bang for the buck. i use dell p2's at work
with nt4.0 & rh5.2 they are ok.
at home however, i dropped $300 for the above and am running SuSE6.0 KDE is
a memory hog, which is no surprise better off with more than 64Mb. Solaris
x86 w/CDE is abotu the same. i am happy and satisfied.
