I am sure that AMD would like to position the K7 as a high quality chip at a high price. Only if the K-7 dramatically exceeds the Intel offering in MHZ can AMD hope to succeed with a "quality strategy". This follows from the fact that "MHZ sells" ,(Ref- J.McMannis and Paul Otellini) without significant Marketing and Advertising effort. Even with a dramatic MHZ advantage, AMD may need a dramatic Advertising Effort to sell the world on AMD's dramatically higher MHz, and it will take significant time to establish a better quality image. Don't worry. Even if they did succeed in this it would all come crashing down with the first "Won't boot with WinXX" problem.
