Re: "Big deal!"

Intel isn't shipping 350, 400 and 450 mhz processors in any kind of volume. You can't buy an IBM, Dell, Compaq, etc. machine with any of these processors in them.

"International Business Machines Corp said Tuesday it began shipments of two new models in its Aptiva line of home personal computers, including the first PC to use the new 300-megahertz K6 microprocessor from Advanced Micro Devices Inc."

In other words, the 300 mhz IBM machine from AMD is SHIPPING. That puts AMD ONE SPEED GRADE behind Intel.

Cheers,
Kevin
