This is especially fascinating to me because I have such a K7 chip right next to me! I never had one in their heyday but built a K7 rig last year to test AGP 8x cards. It's a pretty impressive chip and my fastest retro CPU. Paired with a fast AGP card, it handles HL2 and Doom 3 pretty well. These were the last 32-bit chips from AMD before they introduced AMD64 to the world with the Athlon64. They would eventually gain dual-channel DDR memory with KT880 chipset, the last mainstream 32-bit AMD consumer chipset in 2004.
