While you're out, get me one, too :-)

From what I can tell, a K7 seems to get about 1.5 to 2.5 times as much
done per clock cycle as the K6.  Hence a Duron 750 runs about 5 times as
fast as my K6-2/300.

It appears to depend on the OS you're running.  The Linux boxes seem
a tad faster than the Windows machines.

It would help a bit if the benchmarks included FSB speed.
