ALL: Say it ain't so.. jc-news.com Geeze a bug in the compiler that created the huge spec 'lead' for Intel. Or worse a bug in coppermine or the supporting chipset. That's a bad bad thing.. Sure glad I'm not the guy at Intel who has to figure that one out. Steve

Kevin - RE: "Did those CuWITHALOWENDCHIPSETONLYmine benchmarks disappoint you? Does the fact that Intel has resorted to overclocking demo systems worry you? Does the fact that Intel has no working chipset that they can sell at a reasonable price bother you? Does the fact that the PIII platform won't be getting a better process or memory architecture for at least another year worry you, especially when it can barely keep up with Athlon today?" Maybe he is frantic because he can't purchase a Coppermine of ANY kind from Pricewatch! But there are a few vendors willing to sell him the 700MHz Athlon processor. ;)
