JDN,

Re:"horserace not important"

I think its vitally important as it lets both AMD and Intel get lots of free press. In addition it lets both companies seperate away from VIA etc who will be struggling to introduce a PR500 Mhz chip next quarter.

However in terms of system performance you are right. The step up from 750 to 800 isn't terribly meaningfull unless the rest of the system improves.

Coppermine performance with the RDRAMs has been quite good.

We will see what Athlons can do now that boards will become available next month that support DDR SDRAM - these should really take advantage of AMD's bus speeds.

Today if you want best performance and price is no object the 840 machines with RDRAM look pretty good.

If price is a factor an ATHLON 750 with 512Mb of SDRAM is pretty good too.

regards,

Kash
