AMD-K6 200 vs. Intel-200MMX

Post by Patienc » Fri, 07 Nov 1997 04:00:00



I know AMD-K6 is a fast processor but has a weak fpu.  But comparing
K6-200 against Intel-200MMX, which one has the better fpu performance?
Since I will also run Win95 sometime, which CPU is better for M$ win in
combination with a drawing Program?

Thanks in advance! : )

It really all depends on your budget, AMD being less expensive than
Intel, versus how FPU reliant your applications are.  If you have the
extra cash, and use applications that require extensive floating-point
operations, go with the Intel chip.  In short, if you're using a simple
paint and drawing app, go with AMD.  If you're using a CAD or 3D
rendering app. and are trying to make a living from it, go with Intel.

 
 
 

1. Upgraded from Intel Pentium 200MMX to AMD K6-2 400 3dNOW (Problems)

Hello,
I had some trouble using Redhat 5.1.  A couple weeks ago, I upgraded my
computer from a Pentium 200MMX to a AMD K6-2 400 with a FIC 2013? 100mhz
motherboard with 64 MB RAM.  This evening was the third or fourth time I
seen Linux since the upgrade, but it hung without displaying a message.  The
logs had nothing in them dating tonight.  So I reboot, it does it's system
checks, and tries to repair any lost clusters from an improper mount.
Again, the machine crashes, while doing the repair, asking me for the root
password or to hit control-D to reboot.  I hit control-D, and I get it to
reboot.  After another file system check, it finally gets to the login
screen. I log in and try to run an app and it freezes.

My question is:  Was I suppose to do something (recompile kernel, adjust any
settings, etc) BEFORE I upgraded to an AMD chip?

BTW,  the other hardware that was in the previous machine ( A WinModem ) was
removed. It now has a USR Sportster 28.8 external.  The non-SB sound card
was left.

Any leads?

Thanks.
Ralph
