Athlon voltage info? Someone posted at a different thread that according to this - amd.com on page 10, the Vcc for the processor runs at 1.6v. So who is correct in what they think the voltage the Athlon runs at?

DRBES, Ibm, CPQ etc love this war and they were sure to support AMD as a viable second source just to keep the war fightable for AMD. This war has saved billions for IBM/CPQ/DELL etc and cost Intel Billions and all Intel has to show for it is AMD losing 200M or so in a quarter. It has literally cost Intel $10 for every $1 they have forced AMD to lose. Years ago in manufacturing I would do the same with various parts to keep competing suppliers alive so I never had to buy from a sole source monopoly, which Intel would like to be. Gateway is too dumb to know Intel as the snake it is and too desperate to refuse a deal. Intel is too dumb to take a longer view and make more profits. Now with the central redoubt under attack they may become more tractable. As they say "When you have someone by the b*alls, their hearts and minds will follow" Bill

dumberbers - re: "it will serve strongly to reinforce the already negative feelings that exist at IBM, COMPAQ, and other customers that resent iNTEL's would be role as "kINGMAKER". " IBM Netfinity servers and DB2 Universal Database set new record Looks like IBM has made their Intel-based Netfinity SERVERS yhe KING of Servers ! Kingmakers help kINGMAKERS! pAUL {==========================" ibm.com IBM Netfinity servers and DB2 Universal Database set new record Top SAP R/3 results demonstrate lower point of entry for creating powerful e-businesses On August 10, IBM announced that its Netfinity 7000 M10 server coupled with DB2 Universal Database eclipsed competitors recently by setting a new performance record for processing orders electronically. Surpassing all existing four-way results for Intel-based servers -- including those from Compaq and Hewlett Packard -- the Netfinity 7000 M10 server achieved a result of 3,028 Sales and Distribution (SD) Benchmark users and processed the equivalent of 304,000 order line items per hour when running the SAP R/3 Three-Tier (SD) Benchmark. The results are important because as businesses embrace the electronic buying and selling of products, the need for a fast, reliable server to deliver on these e-business needs is critical. The Netfinity 7000 M10 enables customers to process business transactions more quickly and efficiently than any other four-way Intel-based server on the market. "Through the Internet, small businesses with big ideas can suddenly become high volume market titans," said Tom Figgatt, e-Business segment manager, IBM Netfinity. "The exceptional performance and scalability of IBM Netfinity servers, combined with DB2 Universal Database, provide affordable e-business solutions that grow as fast as our customers." "Customers of all sizes can be assured that no competitor matches this winning combination," said Jim Kelly, vice president, data management marketing, IBM Software Solutions. "The enterprise strength and flexibility of DB2 Universal Database on Windows NT mirror that of the Netfinity server, providing the industry's premiere foundation for e-business applications." Netfinity servers are armor plated with advanced technologies such as Light Path Diagnostics and 'Chipkill' memory adopted from IBM's big iron heritage. The Netfinity X-Architecture provides a design blueprint for migrating these mainframe attributes to industry standard servers. Since 1998, Netfinity servers have set over 42 performance records, including 23 No. 1 benchmark results in 1999. Information on the Netfinity X-Architecture can be found at pc.ibm.com.
