Yousef, <The word I hear about the Copper process is NOT GOOD.> You probably need to check your hearing in this case. There is something funny for you, our "process expert", some indirect evidences about how "inferior" is the AMD process technology: www4.tomshardware.com "Athlon would not run at 500 or 550 MHz unless I lowered the core voltage down to 1.45 V. On the other side, I only had to raise the core voltage from the default 1.6 V to 1.65 V and Athlon worked beautifully at 700 and 750 MHz. " "Both processors are produced in .25æ-technology and so it's pretty impressive to see the differences. Intel's Pentium III can barely reach the 650 MHz at 2.1 V, while AMD's Athlon runs just fine at up to 750 MHz at only 1.65 V." Now try to make it so :)

Re:"The word I hear about the Copper process" Is that word about generic Copper Processes or the AMD/Motorola/Dresden Copper Process? Regards, Burt
