McMannis - Re: "AMD will win on cost with the K6+ and I'm not sure abut the power consumption "then" but now the .18u P-III seems the least consumer of power..." No - YOU CONTINUALLY MISTAKE PRICE and COST. AMD may win on PRICE - but they ALWAYS LOSE on COST. Haven't 4 CONSECUTIVE yearly LOSSES taught you anything, Jimbo ? Don't forget - you can pickup a Compaq 450 MHz Pentium /// Coppermine notebook today ! Go ahead ! Pick one up ! You'll feel good ! Paul

Jim, There are some speculations going on about improvements made to Athlon system components - K7 700 CPUS, AMD750(Northbridge) and AMD756(South bridge). The net result of all these improvements were improved L2 performance, improved memory bandwidth to FPU and MMX units, higher PCI transfer rates, etc. There are some details posted on this at aceshardware.com . If true, it'd give me a strong indication that AMD is beyond any worries of yield, manufacturing problems, and concentrating on performance improvements. Regards, Goutama
