Bill <With no Athlon all those problems would have been found before release and we would be in a 450-500 Mhz universe at this time. Instead we are in the 800+ area and Intel is scrambling to keep up.>

This is why we like competition! Both firms will push a little harder, prices will be a little lower, and the consumer wins.

The earlier release of processors by Intel (and AMD) does make it a little harder to choose a speed -- I was aiming for one or two down from the top but the top is now a more rarified space (price since the systems are usually premium components and availability).
