Cringe - Re: "Based on what Uncle Andy said recently, MerDUD is literally STILL a bunch of FOILS!" Today, the Merced is still foils. In a few weeks, Intel will have a 64 bit CPU with a very advanced architecture - and the athJOHN will still be UNAVAILABLE ! Re: "BTW, did you rename it to AthJOHN because every time you think of it, you piss in your pants?" No - another company owns a trademark on the word ATHLON - which is their brand of toilet dividers ! How appropriate for AMD - to name the fancy new CPU after a TOILET DIVIDER - a certain JUSTICE applies. I merely coined the term AthJOHN to COMEMORATE AMD's careful choice of MONICKERS ! Re: " According to Jim, all the Huggies on your side of the Valley have been bought out by a certain someone! ;)" A certain some one is holding Intel which has hit its 4'th ALL TIME HIGH in the past 10 days. McPicnic just wishes he had bought Intel instead of Cyrix about 4 years ago. By the way - AMD's volume dried up today - do you have a good explanation - or is it all a mystery to you? Paul
