Elmer RE <<Not good news for AMD.>> No, not good at all. Yikes, that made me cringe. I certainly hope this is an isolated event. I have not heard of anything like this before and there has been plenty of Athlon 700 reviews. Mani

Elmer, re: <ZDNET - But the simple fact that we can't get a clean run of Winstone 99 on a shipping 700-MHz Athlon system (whose manufacturer shall remain nameless for the moment) is frustrating" Not good news for AMD.> Elmer, you really are scrambling. To me, it just shows the abilities of ZDNET technical staff. It really reflects bad on their technical skills, credibility and integrity, because they were the only one claiming this kind of nonsense. Thanks for posting it. I'm sure, if there is a way, ZDNET would be eager to make these comments disappear from the Internet to avoid any further embarrassment. Regards, Goutama
