For those interested, did a whole bunch of benchmarking on the Packard Bell AMD K6-2 500Mhz with the Creative 3D Blaster Voodoo Banshee (PCI)

Just watched your "part 3" video (Youtube). Aside from the results and weird behaviour /fluctuating performances, it is a lot of work you went through there!
Very useful how you explain the way to execute each benchmark for each title.
I know you´ve got older machines (486 based) videos coming, but I´ll be waiting for more 97-2001 era content like this one, which is what I like the most!

I've also been watching your videos. I've enjoyed them very much, especially since a K6-2 500 and a crappy old SiS 6326 was my go to gaming PC back in 98-2000.
I've got lots of nostalgia for the platform as a whole. Great work you have done.

I'm also currently trying to get my socket 7 system(s) up and going but i've had two boards die on me and my only remaining socket 7 board won't support my k63+....so I might have to revert to the venerable old k6-2 as well! But in particular the voodoo 3 benchmarks are interesting as that is my weapon of choice for this machine. I

I do have a Radeon 9250 128bit bus model in PCI I could try but i figured it would be overkill for this platform?
