KZ, All these future apps are just waiting to spring forth Yes, as a matter of fact they are. I know that you can't see my rose-colored glasses because yours are solid black. Are you still using your 8086 with 64K of DRAM? Did you see the Dell announcement of the internal cable modem? Can you say "ubiquitous high-speed Internet access"? Three years ago the Internet barely existed. Now you can download bazillions of bytes of music, video, and other kinds of data. Richard is flat wrong if he thinks it's going to take 5 years to get to the point where we can download video. Two years, tops. (the Bogus benchmark issue) but rather the Contrived comparison by which Intel will take a system with the fastest Rdram that anyone can make with their latest chip set and compare it to ???? What will it be? A system with the old chip set with hohum PC100 sdrams? A system with the new chip set but an MTH kludge? So where's the Athlon+RDRAM benchmark? Did AMD not publicize it because RDRAM looked so good? You never did answer my request to explain how your logic cuts the issue so finely that only Intel has to offer customers every combination of technologies. I'll assume that you can't because the logic is so flawed as to be useless. I'll be happy to write a letter asking Intel to benchmark PIII+Camino+SDRAM when AMD publishes their Athlon+RDRAM benchmarks. If Intel doesn't get a court order to prevent it. Contracts are contracts and intellectual property is intellectual property. Maybe the AMD supporters don't get that since the whole premise for AMD's existence is copying someone else's ideas. Dave
