Vince, Re: Set the world on fire? AMD certainly burned intel, they are still feeling the heat, and AMD did not burn their clients like Intel did with crapola premature releases. From introduction to this time it is the fastest shipping in volume x86 processor and was supply limited in several ways. 1. Shortage of mobos 2. Shortage of cartridge parts There are no seas of unsold Athons, just enough in the pipeline to fill industry dermand without recourse to allocation or selective starvation like Intel has done to their clients.(Dell has preferred parts allocation status and gets whatever scarce high speed parts Intel can make and this alone builds bridges for AMD, Intel will never again have the respect of the other top tier producers) There were no shortages of buyers of the finished mobo/cpu assemblies. As mobo availibility has increased buyers have been there. The perception that the cumine is equal to the AThlon is pure marketing hype and can only be show with difficulty using prepared benchmarks that make the copperminus seem faster. Bill
