Joe, Re: new stepping for Austin Athlons

IIRC AMD said on the last CC that at the end of Q1 virtually all Athlons would be coming from Dresden, so they probably don't bother with a new Athlon stepping in Austin. But I read that the new Durons apparently have also a new stepping. Older Durons could only go to 1 GHz with big cooling measures (even Tom couldn't exceed 1066 MHz with his Vapochill solution), the sweet spot seemed to be around 900 MHz. But those new Durons (ANCA code) can go up to 1200 MHz. So this leaves a lot of headroom and should make an 1 GHz Spitfire-Duron possible.
