James: <<If 300 Mhz PMMXs were available, it would steal sales of the slot 1 CPUs in favor of socket 7, which Intel is trying to kill off.>> It will be quite tough for Intel to kill socket 7. I have used the K6-200 on 66MHz bus speed on my favorite games and quite impress with its speed compared to the Pentium class. The K6-300MHz on 100MHz will be more than what I will ever need unless some good 3D games come out. That system will be in the order of the PII-300 class for cheaper price. What AMD is doing right this time is investing in game company that makes 3-D games for the K6-3D. If that game company can come up with at least 3 good games a year the K6-3D will be a homerun. This is a smart move for AMD since they are realizing that an extension in the MMX is only good if there are software written for it. From reading Tom's Hardware page I can't wait for the K6-3D games come out. As I have said all along AMD's future is depended on its execution. If they can execute well they will be profitable. If they don't then Intel goes on unchallenged. Maxwell
