Maybe.  We'll have to see when the bloody thing actually comes out,
won't we? :-)

I've read all the K6 specs AMD has up on their web site and I agree
that it looks cooler-than-heck.  If they're under $1K, I'll buy one
immediately to upgrade my P5 system.  However, I'm still going to wait
until I see them on sale at Fry's Electronics (local computer supply
bordello here in the valley) before I start factoring them into any
of my decisions. ;-)
