Charles R, Re:"<The Athlon die are NOT tested at speed on wafer form. The speed testing is done with the cache on the module.> Are you sure of this? I would be surprised if the chips are popped into a module without having a good indications on their functionality and speed capability! " Charles, they have very good idea how the die and particular wafer batch looks from the PCM data etc. I am sure they do test some speed paths at wafer as well. But the final binning and speed testing is done on the module. regards, Kash
