Okay I have to admit first that I'm no hardware techie-type, I just basically 
have a screwdriver and know what I want, but uh, wouldn't that be because the 
AMD is just a faster chip? Last I checked the K6 was a Pentium II-level chip 
with lots of caches and other stuff I don't really understand, and I thought 
that the Cyrix chip was actually more like a Pentium Pro level chip without 
so much lots of caches and them stuff.
