RE:"Buyers only liked AMD's parts when they were much cheaper than Intel's. When they are more expensive, only the true anti-Intel zealots become AMD's market - and that is definitely a LIMITED EDITION segment."... Anti-Intel Zealots? Are you saying IBM and Compaq? <G> There are those who want the most powerful CPU out there, for what ever reason. That appears right now to be the Athlon...at least until we see the real CU-mine 133 Mhz bus, 64k L1 and 256k L2 on die. With 4xAGP actually working... BTW... Has AMD given up on the small die size, now low end K6-2? Last I saw it was at 500 Mhz. What's this I hear about a K6-2+....w/128k L2 on die? That with the K6-III and Athlon it seems AMD has a pretty well rounded product line. Seems as AMD is keeping Intel on it's toes... Great fun watching the whole thing wouldn't you say? Jim
