I'd be interested in David's (or other people's) comments about how the MII
stacks up against the K6-2. I had a Cyrix PR-200 (I think it was called 6x86
or something like that) which I was very pleased with, then it seemed like
AMD was getting all the attention, so I switched back to AMD. Are Cyrix's
chips holding up to the same performance levels as their AMD counterparts?

Also, did I understand correctly that when you see a MII-300 that is a PR
rating, not actual clock speed? If that's true, I think they should put PR in
front like they used to.
