Re: "Actually, I came over to this thread in the naive hope of getting another perspective on the Athlon vs Coppermine competition."

If you want perspective, I'd walk on down to your local Best Buy or CompUSA. Chances are you'll find some nice Athlon boxes to look at, even some 700 MHz machines--but I suspect you won't find a single FLOPPERMINE to compare them to.

How's that for perspective?

RE <<<Well, once I saw it, I just couldn't laugh and go on down the road, could I??>>>

Oh, why not? Actually its rare that an intc long shows this kind of humor.....so heres some other names for cumine are:

coppernevermine, MIA-mine, koppafeel....its hard to keep up with all of them.

AMD may not be an intc but it keeps things interesting!
