ALL: www6.tomshardware.com Regards, Steve (on the last page of that article we have the following text): "In closing I'd like to ask all motherboard makers to jump on the Athlon-bandwagon. This processor is not only fast, it's also easy to use and very stable, something I cannot say about my intermittently crashing Pentium III 600 CPUs. The users out there will soon get the message and people will start yelling for Athlon-systems. Intel or not Intel, the industry should get ready for it! "

Cringe - Re: "Too bad it didn't come out LAST Q, when it, with the Xeons sold with it, could have helped Intel meet earnings expectations." Duh ! Guess what, Cringey ? The Profusion WILL HELP this quarters' earnings expectations, and NEXT quarters' earnings, and the one after that and the one after that ! Re: "Do you think that since all shipments of systems based on the Profusion chipset have been DELAYED to this Q, lots more Xeons will be sold compared to last Q?" Certainly - but the NEW ramp will just be starting this quarter and will continue for all forseeable quarters. You don't get it, however ! Paul
