re: "Meanwhile, Intel's existing 32-bit processor roadmap will also move forward, with new devices scheduled for introduction up through McKinley's launch and beyond. And in a sign of what's to come on the desktop PC, the company demonstrated a Pentium II running at approximately 800 MHz. "

WOW 800mhz!!!! As anyone who has followed Intel's processor demonstrations can remember, it is clear that todays demo is tomorrows product. The first one I remember was a 100mhz 486 demo, which was followed by 100mhz production not too long after. There was a 400mhz Pentium II demo last year and we have already surpassed that with 450mhz PII's now readily available. Hey but don't worry, AMD is now ramping up 350mhz k6's and hope to get to 400mhz (maybe) late this year. Expect the gap between Intel and AMD to continue to widen. Today it is 100mhz, tomorrow ?????
