Thanks Charles, I am surprised that no one has responded to this, First let me clean it a bit, Technical data Processor Athlon Pentium III Manufacturer AMD Intel Clock frequency 650/600/550/500 mc/s 600/550/500/450 mc/s L1Cache 128 KByte 32 KByte L2Cache 512 KByte 512 KByte L2clock half processor clock half processor clock FrontSidebus 100 mc/s 100 mc/s Design Slot A Slot 1 Multi-processorsupport yes yes Transistors 22 million 9.5 million Production technology 0.25 Micron 0.25 Micron Chipflaeche 184 mm2 140 mm2 Transistors per mm2 113,414 67,857 Core voltage 1.7 V 2.0 V Capacity k.

How about the stated 650 Mhz slot? The power output of the K7 also looks very manageable! Mani

Charles, from your post it seems that the Athlon has set a new record. Not for speed but rather for drawing more power than any PC component in history ... including the Pentium/66 and the 10,000 RPM Cheetah hard drive. If AMD is smart, they will include a package of marshmallows and some sticks with every chip. "Requirements of electric current k. A./25,6/23,5/21,5 ampere 16.4/15.4/14/12.7 ampere" Craig
