Elmer Re <<We'll have to wait and see what the real Althon actually does. Don't put all your faith in the datasheet.>> LOL Elmer. I fell out of my seat reading this one. I do like your "no give up" attitude. I must warn you however, that such people are better playing football rather that stocks. Mani

Elmer - RE: "Maybe, but not so fast. Just because the datasheet says so doesn't mead that's the way the shipping(ha!) part behaves. It is a fairly common practice in the industry to ship special spec products that deviate from the datasheet specifications. We'll have to wait and see what the real Althon actually does. Don't put all your faith in the datasheet." Come on Elmer, that is almost as desperate as someone on the Intel thread who wrote this - "With a bus clock of 200 MHz, I wonder how easy it will be for system manufacturers using AMD K7s to get EMC compliance on their systems. I wonder if this will add cost to the completed systems?" A few reviews posted pictures of the Athlon. None of them said engineering sample. I didn't see a picture of the whole Athlon at Anand's site, but he is the webmaster who said the Athlon runs on 1.6 volts. Unless AMD sent Anand an engineering sample, the rest of the Athlons tested at the other sites also ran at 1.6 volts.
