Ten,
RE:"While we're being fair, let me take my turn and say that the
K6-3 (oh, my bad, the K6-III) is perhaps AMD's first serious
contender for the business segment of the market."

---Anands review bears you out. OTOH, getting AMD in the busibess door is more of a Image problem than a performance issue, IMHO.

RE:"So now that AMD has made the K6-III announcement, when can we start seeing the first CPU
available on Pricewatch?"

No doubt the announcement was a little premature. This is the first time I've seen a chip announced with no place for it on pricewatch.

RE:'et the K6-III does present a quandary for the guys in charge at AMD. It's pretty much a given
that AMD is capacity-constrained right now, so we have to ask how much K6-2 production must
be sacrificed for K6-3 production."
Since Austin FAB isn't running near capacity I don't see much having to be taken away from the K6-2.
