RE: <The Empire Strikes back:
zdnet.com;

Does anyone know what zdnet means by: "Productivity boost with multithreading ...
The chip set may also offer a productivity boost, sources said, because it supports multithreading. This would offer users an advantage when the chip set is paired with Microsoft Corp.'s forthcoming Windows 2000 operating system. With the combination, users will be able to print or synchronize a handheld device in the background while they performed another task, sources said."

Just what does the 820 have for multithreading support?
Does anyone know of a chip set that doesn't support multithreading?
