The CPU floating point is kind of over rated in this gaming issue. The video is
the most important component for games. I have a K6 with a Stealth 3D 3000, and
a Monster 3D and if my games were any faster I don't think I could play them.
I'm sure that PII 600MHz with a plain video card couldn't move my games as
nicely.  See through the hype folks.
