Bill - Re:"the P-III is squeezed between the celeron and the AThlon and will soon become extinct." You don't just build castles in the air. You decorate and move in. Best of luck in your investments, but your blithe optimism about AMD is a triumph of hope over experience. Regards, Burt

Kokmradski - Re: "Soon there will be a 733/750 Athlon " Let's see.. 650 MHz Athlons announced over a month ago - and still not available. 700 MHz AThlons unannounced - but "rumored" to be available ! And now you say SOON AMD will have 750 MHz Athlons ! Cheeezus - why doesn't AMD just ship those 1 GHz Athlons that they have been stockpiling in their warehouses ? Paul

AS YOU KNOW I LIKE TO PLAY WITH NUMBERS AND RATIOS. I RECALL (POSSIBLY NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATELY) THAT THE ceLERON ii WHICH WOULD RUN AT APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE SPEED OF THE peEiiI HAS SOLD FOR 20% TO 25% OF THE PRICE OF THE peEiiI. SINCE IT SEEMS TO MOST THAT DEPENDING ON HOW YOU WEIGH THE SPECTRUM OF PERFORMANCE TESTS OF THE ATHLON vs THE peEiiI, itS PERFORMANCE IS LESS THAN 80% OF THAT OF THE ATHLON WHICH WOULD ARGUE RELATIVELY PERSUASIVELY THAT it SHOULD SELL FOR LESS THAN 20% OF THE PRICE OF THE ATHLON. LET US WATCH WITH GREAT INTEREST AS VOLUME RAMPS UP ON THE ATHLON. ALSO DO PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MOBO, CHIPSET, AND TAILORED SOFTWARE INDUSTRY FOR THE ATHLON IS STILL RELATIVELY PRIMITIVE AND CLEARLY ONLY IN ITS FIRST GENERATION. THE COMPARISONS MAY BECOME EVEN MORE DRAMATIC WITH TIME DESPITE inTELS cuONTIME AND OTHER PERFORMANCE EFFORTS. COMMENTS? EVEN coMMENTS? Regards, DARBES
