Paul, "Athlon is definitely a challenge that has a lot of people burning the midnight oil right now, in part because it uses a fast 200 MHz front side bus," the engineer said." Also AMD has not yet been able to get out boards that support two-way processors. That would really be competitive against the Intel Xeon line." I don't see anything bad or negative in the statement above. In fact, I see that the Taiwanese motherboard industry is putting an extra effort to bring out Athlon motherboards and is waiting for AMD's design of Athlon two-way processors board. Goutama

Paul, re:<AMD has not yet been able to get out boards that support two-way processors...> These boards were never promised for Q3'99 or Q4'99. If they were out already now, they would be 4-6 months AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. In fact they will come out very soon. Petz

Paul - RE: "AMD controlled this problem" There you go again, looking at AMD to help alleviate Intel's current Fiasco! Another quote from the same article - "Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ), for example, had planned to announce support for the chip set Monday and introduce systems with it in October. "All that's up in the air now," a spokesman for the Houston, Texas, company said." Looks like Compaq was trying to do the same type of launch they usually do with AMD launches except this time with Intel processors and chipsets. But Intel had to say one more time - "Quit bugging us, it's CamiNO-GO!"
