Doug - Re: "Tom Pabst. Why is that guy so pro AMD. "

I can't answer that except to speculate that his "background" may disposition himself to being accustomed to receiving everything for free - instead of the prices Intel charges for its processors.

This Tom Uberclockermeister Pabst first gained notoriety in early 1997 when he illegally obtained an early engineering sample of Klamath (the 0.35 micron Pentium II) and an early Intel motherboard.

He performed a suite of tests on the illegally obtained engineering sample and published the data and just CROWED over the marginal performance.

Only when the REAL, PRODUCTIOn Pentium II came out, he repeated his tests and had to re-cant his prior data and ADMIT THAT IT WAS OBTAINED ON ILLEGALLY GOTTEN ENGINEERING SAMPLES.

Tom didn't take to EATING CROW too well.

Then he made a claim that Intel was trying to stifle advertising on his web site or something, another claim that was unsuported by fact.

In the end, the Uberclockermeister had to re-publish Pentium II data and admitted the performance was EXCELLENT.

Ever since that time, he has been reaching for the the next ABI CPU (ABI = Anything But Intel) and hoping to find a gem that will outshine Intel's best performance.

In almost two years, he has not been able to do this.

By the way, Tom Pabst's TIES TO AMD are quite clear - AMD PROVIDED COPIES OF THEIR Microprocessor Design Forum K7 SLIDES for Uberclockermesiter to put up on his Web Site.

So, Pabst has become nothing more than a Schill for AMD.
