>I have just discovered that my wife is about to be presented with a new
computer which contains a K6-2/333 processor, 64K L1, 512K L2, 64MB of
SRAM. I would be willing to invest a few $$$ of my own in an upgrade to
a Pentium if it made a substantial difference in running Prime95. My
understanding is that the program has been optimized for the Pentium.
The question is - how well does it run on the K6?
Can someone please give me a comparison of the merits of the K6 vs. the
Pentium? Also, please withhold comments on the domestic implications of
the problem.

Well, lots of folks will have something to say on this topic. The rule of
thumb is that the K6-2 at
2x Mhx performs about like a P-II at x Mhz. I have a K6-2 @ 400 and clocks
run about .66. My
P-II at 266 generally has clocks at around .5. Amazingly enough,...
.66 * (400/2)/266 = .5 approx.
Yeah, the P-II is a whole lot faster at some things, just bring an extra
barrel of money.
