Steve - Ever wonder why Intel does these "overclocked" demos? From the Reuters story: At a CeBIT technology trade fair news conference, the computer-chip maker demonstrated a Pentium processor running at about 800 megahertz -- 60 percent faster than the new Pentium III Xeon chip it unveiled the day before. The answer - its totally effective at thwarting Jerry's AMD disinformation campaign. You know that Jerry's minions showed up at C-Bit prepared to announce the K7 as the "fastest x86 processor in the world" running a chilled, overvoltage, lab tweaked, one-of-a-kind buggy prototype in a maxed out system box running some benchmark edited to avoid all the bugs. The Intel demo trumps his hand! Of course Intel prominently discloses that its demo is a ruse. By example the lemming reporters ask AMD if theirs is any more real - a real conversation stopper with AMD! Jeff
