The lead has been signifficant, but most vendors have built their PCs with (W)Intel CPUs. For the home-builder/upgrader, the choice has been simple, though. But lately Intel has dropped their prices, and if I was to buy a new CPU now, I would have to choose between PIII and K6-3 (They're pretty much equally fast, AMD a bit faster in Q2 in windoze) anyways Stein B.
