Scombroid, (Scientific nickname for fish in the Tuna/Mackeral family, Scombroididae, in case you are wondering). Thus the name Scumbria. Probably Greek or Latin root. RE:"Why is everyone so critical of AMD? Their announcements are usually only skewed by a few weeks, as opposed to possible milleniums (in the case of Merced.)"... ----Simply put, Intel is in the MHZ lead due to their superior process technology, loose design rules and FAB setup. This appears to make AMD look inferior and always playing catch up when in fact, AMD is doing quite well and would look a lot better if there was no Intel <G> Jim
