Ten was that the infamous Intel pentium II demo where Paul got his tounge stuck to the dry ice block cooling the unit and had to extricated by the Emergency medical response team to be resuced? I heard they had to be called back a second time to respond to smoke in the tent condition caused by the fired chips being served as appitizers.

Ten, RE:"<You see...the K7 will run at 1000 Mhz on .25u with a little seed path refinement> Says who? Even AMD will need to go to 0.18 microns to get to one gigahertz. Super-cooled setups don't count, or else Intel could claim they got their first with their super-cooled gigahertz Pentium II demo."... Who says? Oh some little birdie friend of mine. Anyway...who was it on here who couldn't find an Athlon unit at Best Buy? I wandered down there today and found a brand new IBM-Athlon 550 Mo'chine sitting on the end cap. Well, according to Elmer I expected it to be made of tin-foil. To my utter surprise it actually ran programs. Not bad either, for a foil. Do not underestimate the scalability of the Athlon... The noose tightens... Jim
