Scumbria - Re: "Can you explain the theory behind why the bus on Dixon will provide a performance advantage over Sharptooth for desktop apps?" That's a funny question. Haven't you and the AMD religious faithful been screaming the mantra that AMD's existing K6 products - 166, 200, 233... Mhz ALL RUN DESKTOP APPLICATIONS fast enough? So now you are claiming Sharptooth is required to run word processors and spreadsheets? Whew! Talk about back stepping ! Re: "Since many Sharptooth systems will ship with an L3" I just can't wait for these to appear and set records for word processing applications ! Again, haven't you been trying to emphasize that all that Intel CPU speed has been unnecessary and that the "adequate speed" of K6's (200 or 233 Mhz at the time) was ALL THAT MOST PEOPLE REALLY NEEDED ? Think about it, Scumbria. Paul
