steve - <It is not likely to be the 'generic' solution for very long for coppermine.> I remember debating Tad LaFountain at length, and his main premise was that Intel would not have a viable product to compete against K7 in the server / workstation space. I believe you will find that in short order, i840 board pricing will be significantly lower than it's 440 counterpart at the same stage. Also, I do wish i820 were out. However, the BX benchmarks are still competitive. Basicly, my argument is that AMD has an Enthusiast Desktop part...1 part at a few speed grades. Intel is launching Mobile, Desktop (all segments socket 370, slot 1 etc), Workstation, and Server segments. I'm fairly pleased with the broad nature of the product line on Intel's .18. I didn't expect Coppermine to win every single sites benchmark wars. But I will tell you this, the results are a lot closer than folks were speculating. Some sites are even calling the i820 / Cumine the choice for serious gamers in the high end market. Why would they do this? PB
