<There can be no doubt that the architecture of the K7 is way beyond the PIII...it will blow PIII away.> Dan, have you been keeping an open mind? I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The K7 architecture is not "way beyond the PIII." Rather, it's more like a PII-plus, featuring more of what made the Pentium II so great. That's why I call the K7 the Mustang of x86 processors (as opposed to Porsche or Ferrari). There are only three things radically different in the K7 compared to the Pentium III: symmetric decoders (more flexible than the Pentium III's), an oversized L1 cache whose longer latency slightly diminishes its benefit, and the 200 MHz point-to-point processor-to-chipset connection.
