Paul, Thankyou very much for taking the time! >> The .7 nanoMeter tunnel dielectric<< Where did you get this? Is it in the patent? Does that make this a "tunnel junction" design? In light of the miniscule dollars being spent, is this a credible effort? Can you offer a ballpark timetable to usefulness? Is this technology ahead of other magnetic designs in development in terms of making it to market first? w

Paul, Well I think I have heard what the deal is with Gateway (and possibly Dell) and the Athlon. Intel is literally GIVING Gateway free celerons on the conditions that they purchase x number of PII/PIII's and DO NOT sell Athlon Systems. That's a little disturbing to me, and it should a little disturbing to you too. Celeron's are now like those toys you get in your happy meal at McDonalds.. FREE!. Steve PS. I realize that they aren't FREE per say, and that Intel can take the cost out of the profit margin on the PII/PIII's they sell Gateway/Dell, but it will hurt overall margins.
