I have never installed one. I welcome evaluation units for full review. There are a few limitations though. The floating-point operations are somewhat slower than Intel's, but this is of concern only to CAD users and some game players. The AMD-K6 offers tremendous performance, value and savings that make it a serious consideration in any home computer.
Recommendations Let's start out with the easy choice.
Don't buy an Intel Pentium Pro. It runs 16-bit Windows 3.11 and 95 slower than comparably clocked Pentiums. Without MMX, there is no compelling reason to buy this product. Also, this is a discontinued microprocessor that essentially requires a proprietary motherboard. Such a motherboard can never be upgraded with a newer and faster microprocessor because no one will make anything that will fit its socket.
