You should also ask about the mother board and type of RAM (also ask about costs for upgrading each machines RAM, since different setups require different RAM for Intel....some of which can be much more expensive than others.) I will always choose AMD over Intel, if there is no other reason to do otherwise. AMD generally can do more work per cycle, except in rare cases, and is generally less expensive. That said, however, if those were my only two choices, and the Intel system used a better motherboard, I would go with the Intel. Cheap motherboards can be a source for heartache, and could adversly affect performance much more than you would expect. As for the K6 business, as far as I know, K6 stopped at around 450Mhz, so I doubt that the AMD is actually a K6. If your sales people are calling it that, they either don't know what they sell, or something fishy is going on (either way, you probably should stay away from it). Good luck! Eric
