Paul - RE: "Yes - that seems to be so - if you're lucky enough to find one of these Endangered Athlon Species to test !" This ain't the K6-III, you can purhcase a system from Best Buy and take it home the day you buy it. "Intel's manufacturing STRENGTH will go a long way to help the situation." We were strictly talking about performance. But yes, manufacturing is an Advantage: Intel. "I wouldn't count on getting one of these in my Christmas stocking if I were you. VIA seems much more occupied with buying AMD's competitors than building chip sets to HELP AMD." Yeah, that could happen. But no matter how you look at it, the Athlon's performance is only going to get better. Once the PIII gets its extra cache, Intel will have no way to improve on the platform, they are already at the top of the mountain. AMD is just beginning the journey. (Apply any stock jokes you want.)
