AMD vs Pentium
How does AMD k6 processor compare with a pentium of like speed? Want to upgrade to more powerful computer and would like to go the $250+ cheaper route. Will programs that list Pentium in system requirements still work under an AMD K6-2 processor?

Most programs work just fine with AMD , I'm sure there is at least a few that runs better with Pen II and also the other way around too. I use the AMD CPU and I haven't had any trouble with them at all, The speed of the AMD may be a little bit slower but not enough that you will notice it, and in doing some tasks the AMD may be faster, the way I look at it is you cannot notice if it takes 1/1000 of a sec to preform a certain task or not so if you can save several dollars and not notice any difference, go for it.

Thanks, dmmoore. I went to that site. Had a bit of trouble but finally found answers, along with yours, that satisfy this merely semi-ltirate 'puterman.
rayt333...... thanks for the added comment. Couldn't find a way to give you points, but your response was very comforting. For the limited amount of things I do, I feel certain the AMD will be quite sufficient now. And I can use the $250+ savings.
Thanks again, to you both.
