re: "AMD has a long way to go. IMO." However, it is well on its way. The your opinion is recognized; and if it turns out to be wrong, be assured that I will not point it out. Regards, DARBES

PB, <I do not believe AMD is ahead in the MHz department. Think about it. 650's are rare as hen's teeth. They may have a smattering of 700 systems for sale in Oct. > Just curious, what is your bemchmark when you will say AMD is ahead in MHz department? And, how do you define "smattering"? Could you be specific in your reply? <I view AMD's "releases" as very dubious, and do not anywhere meet the criteria for bin split and volume that Intel does.> Agree with the dubious part but I don't understand how you can make a statement about bin splits and volumes. Volumes will be lower for AMD and bin splits - I doubt if you know. (I say that because your comments about bin splits stick out like a sore thumb compared to the other data points I have on that issue - suggesting to me that you may be mis-informed) <If there are a slug of Tier One OEM announcements supporting K7, I will be more concerned. If upcoming announcements are limited to select retail chains in Europe offering systems, AMD has a long way to go. IMO.> Here we are in complete agreement. Chuck

PB - Re: ". If upcoming announcements are limited to select retail chains in Europe offering systems, AMD has a long way to go. IMO." You are forgetting San Diego - that other mysterious bastion of UFOAlon "sitings". Paul

PB Re <<I do not believe AMD is ahead in the MHz department. Think about it.>> Sure PB, what ever you say. Can You tell me where I can get a Intel any thing at 650 MHz? I bought an AMD one last night. If I want another one I can just go to a local store. I suppose that Lamborgini does not really go faster than a Geo Metro since the volume is alot lower. Mani
