thejerk, Re: "As you know my tech background is weak; having said that my feeling is that the Athlon can easily scale to 800 MHz and beyond, past 1 G, and currently is held back by marketing rather than technology restraints ..." thejerk, we are all painfully aware of you "technology shortcomings". <ggg> Really, marketing versus technology "restraints" ... you're another AMD "genius". Make It So, Yousef

ted - <In your next post, however, your machismo returns with the scalability issue re Cumine vs the Athlon. As you know my tech background is weak; having said that my feeling is that the Athlon can easily scale to 800 MHz and beyond, past 1 G, and currently is held back by marketing rather than technology restraints. If the Cumine has that kind of scaling ability, then they are truly competitors.> Macho was not my intention. Simply facts as I see them. I have been trying to convey the facts as they exist. My prediction is an MHz war, tit for tat, for the foreseeable future. Did you see the link at Anandtech to the French site that overclocks / cools a Coppermine 733 to 1GHz? PB
