176807 2003-09-21 10:42:00 I used SiSoftware Sandra to test the CPU speed of a machine with AMD-K6 3D Processor (supposed to be 500 Mhz) and the result turned out to be very eratic - rannge from 160 Mhz - 2.6 Ghz! Everytime I refresh the test, a new reading emerges. Does it suggest that the CPU is having a problem?

I do notice that the machine (running xp) is quite sluggish, compare to another machine having Pentium III 500 MHZ which has quite similar configuration. When I test the PIII machine with Sandra, the CPU speed is always constant at 501 Mhz.

176808 2003-09-22 00:16:00 try another program. here (www.majorgeeks.com) is a few you can try.

i would exspect the k6-2 to be a bit slower than the p3. the p3 is a far better cpu exspecially for games.
