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.

I cancelled my original post because I realised my memory settings
in BIOS were left at default after some ISDN adapter experiments.
I have Asus tx97-xe mobo with 192M sdram. Bus is at 66MHz.
I tweaked BIOS and got 2x speed increase :)

I found that "Emotio Engine" much more impressive. What kind of
processor is that?
