It's the same butt-slapping they were giving each other when the K6-233 came out in 3.2v and 3.3v versions. Haven't heard of any failures with those units. Still, as a non-process type, I'm still curious why AMD needed 2.4 volts. Process technology wouldn't seem to fit would it? The same core runs 2.2v at 400MHZ in a K6-2 unless 2.4v yields more chips w/256k L2 vs having to down binn or disable the cache and make K6-2+s. Could Kevin be right about needing more voltage for the extra transistors? I felt good when the Intelabees were scared to death of the K6-III and were trashing it. At 2.4v I'm not feeling quite as good. This could eliminate a lot of motherboards. At any rate, AMD was up big today, even though I'm not currently long. Jim
