Petz - Re: "Apparently, you don't know how to read the specs, which clearly state a Vcc of 1.6 volts. Only 2 days ago you claimed that "only the PLL" runs at 1.6 volts." Poor Petz - The TEXT of that ISSCC article stated EXACTLY what I posted - that the the PLL ran at 1.6 volts DROPPED DOWN form a 2.5 volt supply. On the opposite page OF THE SAME ARTICLE , the 1.6 volt appeared in the SPEC table - courtesy of ACE/McMaster University and Super Sleuth Steve Porter ! Maybe you should learn how to INVESTIGATE THINGS better. By the way - I just heard some terrifying news about AMD's current quarter financials. Are you interested in hearing them ? Paul

Dresden in Q4? Here is a couple of links that may be of interest. "Will consumers be willing to pay $400 to $500 for an AMD processor?" says Intel spokesman Howard High. "That's kind of like going out and buying a designer suit at K-mart. It's hard to imagine people will do that." Not nearly as hard to imagine as AMD having a performance edge on intc Howard. The article states that only 500 mhz (ZDnet)will be ready for release and Dresden will begin production in Q4(?). Not sure how accurate it is. zdii.com Gateway follows up the all in one with a K6-2 475. zdii.com
