We should look at the results of a K6-3 first, it's CPUMark is higher than the P3 already. This is saying the K7 is slower than a K6, I don't think so. I've seen benchmarks that says a K6-3 450 beat the P3-500... (not in FPU though) ---With 3DNow enabled the Direct3D(I know I hate to use this comparison) benchmark was right on par with the P3 at the same clock speed. So it's basically impossible to say the K7 would be slower. Look in Maximum PC, April issue...
Maybe they make good motherboards, but that's it!!! Everything else they make "SUCKS ASS" - CD-ROM drives, complete systems, modems, etc. I think the motherboards are made my a separate division A-Open....
