Re: "The board bus is 100 versus 133 for Intel " Bill, AMD has long touted their 200MHz bus. They are using 100MHz memory. Maybe that's what you are confusing. EP

Bill, <When the AMD boards come with 133 they will get a lot better. When the AThlon comes with full speed cache they will get a lot better.> OK, so tell us when AMD will release these features. I have a feeling that the 133/266 MHz bus isn't coming this quarter. I also have a feeling that Athlons with full-speed on-die cache isn't coming until 2H 2000 at the earliest. (Remember the K6-III?) The most immediate enhancement to the Athlon platform will be PC133 support, which should help. It's obvious that even though the window of opportunity is still open for AMD, that window is getting narrower by the minute. Tenchusatsu
