<But the funnier thing is that the next FASTEST x86 processors is TWO LITTLE BLOCKS away from that Fry's! > For the people who do not know about the Bay area: AMD headquarters in Sunnyvale and Intel headquarters in Santa Clara are just a couple of miles apart. My favorite computer place, MicroCenter, is between these two companies. (nowadays, given what I can order on the web, I don't find the need to go to either Fry's or Microcenter anyway) And, oh by the way, CuMine733, especially when clubbed with VIA-133, is not "The FASTEST x86 PC in the WORLD" anymore than K6-3 450 was when it was compared with its then competition PIII-500. And, to make things worse for Intel fans, Athlon 750s will probably be in the market before CuMine's based on 820's showup. We may have witnessed the very last time for the the next 3 or 4 quarters that Intel will have MHz bragging rights.
