Saturn V - Re: ". It was repeatedly claimed by Charles sources, that Intel had no response to the Athlon until Willamette, and Coppermine was nothing but a higher speed Katmai. We heard that repeatedly, and when we were all surprised by the Coppermine enhancements at MPF, I made the following comments:"

You forgot one of Charles' BEST F*CKED UP prediction - that Gateway would have Athlon PCs ready for sale by this Christmas - of course, Gateway completely DUMPED AMD a few weeks after Charles' SUPERB prediction !

Mani,
<Like this quote?
" PC Labs tests today's major
processors and finds that the new
AMD Athlon steals the performance
crown, and that the Pentium III isn't
delivering on its promise to improve
your Internet experience.">

I loved that one!

Also, I have now pretty much confirmed that Gateway WILL have Athlons before Christmas.

Chuck
