RDM -Re: " I believe that the K7 will be 20% faster on FPU clock for clock than PIII and 40% when then code optimized. This might not be until Christmas." Why do you believe this? Without optimizations, what do you think the K7 FPU speed will be vis-a-vis the Pentium III ? If The K7 can't run "fast" until December, I would guess that many, many "potential buyers" would defer K7 purchases until that time - December. Like, who needs a high heat door stop for 6 months before it turns into something useful? And besides, come December, there may be some "interesting" alternative CPUs available from "other" x86 CPU suppliers. Paul
