RE: [TCLUG:4336] celeron

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

the 300a is a great chip, my room-mate has one, and it preforms very nicely..
the problem is this.. intel is trying to build in overclocking restrictors, so
that it will only run at 300mhz.  i'm not sure if these chips have made it to
the market or not.

the AMD K6-3 is out, and in some benchmarks outpreforms a PIII (including the
500mhz)  in others (KNI instructions active) is very slow, oh well.. linux
doesn't use KNI, so there isn't a problem.  I havn't seen any linux benchmarks
for the K6-3 yet, but maybe i will try and find someone with a chip and bench
it.
