Maybe like you said, MAYBE the K6-2 is on permanent hold... If the Spitfire comes early next quarter could it go into a notebook? dailynews.yahoo.com << VIA Technologies will also release a new chip set for Athlon on Socket A. Called the VIA KZ-133, the chip set will support quadruple-speed AGP and 133MHz SDRAM, otherwise known as PC133 memory.... Also in the second quarter, AMD will introduce Spitfire, an Athlon core designed for use in sub-$1,000 PCs. "We're trying to design parts that fit into price points," Bode said. AMD is working to deliver Spitfire-based chips for PCs priced at $999, $799 and $599. The processors will also utilize the Socket A package and integrated cache but will receive less cache than Thunderbird. Spitfire will not be branded as an Athlon. It will, instead, receive a new name. AMD says it is in the process of narrowing down a final list of names for the chip. AMD's third-quarter chip plans will let Mustang, a third Athlon processor core, out of its corral. >> ------ Interesting...maybe... Jim
