fyo, ""Athlon" isn't the best name for an international brand. Virtually all non-English speakers have at least some problems pronouncing the "th" sound" Good point! OTOH: "Athlon" is pronounced in Germany as "Atlon". We have many words in our language originating from the ancient Greek language which contain a "th". And it is always pronounced as "t". Therefore, "Athlon" sounds somehow familiar to us. And I do have the impression that it sounds really good. So, "Athlon 64" might be a winner name, at least here in Germany. BTW: "Hammer" would be good, too. It has the same meaning in German as in English. We also use this word to describe something which is really, really cool and strong. Peter
