Hi!
A little question:
Do you recomend to buy a k6 cpu or a PII/PIII cpu? I've heard the k6
run as fast as the pentium series but I'm not sure and I don't want to
get a pc that ages too fast..

Thanks in advance!

Celeron has a floating point. Ever used one before? In fact it has a nice happy math coprocessor, the same one that comes in Pentium IIs. Early Celerons didn't have an L2 cache, if that's what you are thinking of, but the P6 core has the coprocessor on the chip. If you think of it, it would have cost more for Intel to remove the darn coprocessor than to leave it on.
