Burt & Intel Investors - Intel's AnyPOINT now runs at 10 MBPs - up from 1 MBPs on the original version. This basically is the same speed as the "old" 10 MBPs Ethernet standard - but uses internal telephone wires for connecting PCs together. Paul {======================================} Intel to release faster home networking kit By Wylie Wong Staff Writer, CNET News.com November 8, 1999, 11:00 a.m. PT URL: news.cnet.com Adding to the rapidly growing market for home networking, chip leader Intel plans to release a new, faster kit to link PCs and peripherals in homes next week. Intel has assembled a new phoneline kit that allows consumers to network personal computers, printers, and other peripherals, as well as share Internet connections, by plugging equipment into a traditional phone jack. The new kit, which sends data information along a network at speeds of 10 megabits per second (mbps), is 10 times faster than a home networking product Intel released in April. Intel spokesman Tom Potts said the slower version has sufficient power for most home users, but the faster version will give people the extra bandwidth needed to connect more than five PCs, transfer large files and graphics, or distribute video across a home network. With the release of its new kit, Intel joins Diamond Multimedia, Nortel Networks, the 3Com-Microsoft alliance, and other firms that are rushing to release their own home networking kits in time for the holiday buying season. Separately, networking equipment firm Linksys today released its own 10 mbps phoneline networking product geared for small businesses and home offices. Cost is $65 for each PC card adapter. Analyst firm Cahners In-Stat predicts the home networking market in the United States will grow to $1.4 billion by 2003, from $230 million this year. Intel's new kit costs $79 for each PC card adapter and will be available at Best Buy, CompUSA, Office Depot, and other retail outlets. Intel has reduced the price of its original kit from $79 to $49. Both versions are compatible.

Burt,Sh. Don't tell anyone on the AMD thread. 700 MHz coppermine has been available at a local Long Island PC chain for at least 2 weeks. I posted the first ad I noticed (hadn't been looking before) after last weekend. same ad in this weekend. The brand is AOpen and it's a high end machine with all the goodies. But don't tell them on that other thread. They want to believe there are none available.".... Sounds like the Coppermine has arrived! <G> Is this a pre made Acer machine? Obviously a BX chipset or maybe a VIA one?. Maybe most of the rest of the large OEMs are waiting for the????? Jim
