Jim - RE: "When Intel gets to 667MHz, AMD will simply ship 700MHz. When Intel gets to 733MHz, AMD will ship 750MHz Athlons. Or maybe they will stay a couple speed grades ahead?" I wonder what will happen after that because the next step for both companies is 800. If AMD wants to maintain a MHz advantage over Intel, they will have to release their chips faster than Intel because for every 2 bins Intel goes up, AMD has to go up 3, like the Celeron and K6-2, except in reverse order.

Jim, I find that image very amusing, let us see how we can train Cleopatra in a Pavlovian style.(dual image, Cleopatra as Pavlova and as a trained cat)))). The ratios that determine speed bins will cause AMD to strain, let 'em strain, might make 'em get further ahead. I suspect that is their secret strategy and so Intel will try to take 2 jumps at once to confound them, so AMD will take three. Endless possibilities. Bill
