Jun of course you can play. All I'm saying is don't let Intel dictate that you can not
because you don't have a Pentium chip. Granted that Intel has a faster better FPU than
the AMD, that doesn't mean you can't play. The difference is in milliseconds and can
only be seen in benchmarks which are probably written to favor Intel anyway.

Set up two identical machines at the same speed with a K6 and a PII, run whatever game
you wish and see if with the naked eye you can tell difference. Is said difference
worth anywhere from $300 to $500?
