Slightly off topic: The inteL thread has been understandably very quiet lately, while the AMD thread has exploded in activity. Anyone want to make book on whether we cross the 100,000 mark before the inteL thread? By the way...my prediction of some months ago that pauL will be substantially off this thread by Xmas is about to be tested. He does seem to have been muted somewhat already. Bye bye pauL...we can hope, anyway. Regards, DARBES

Ted, <report availability in your areas> After reading your post I could not resist and drove to the nearest shopping area. Results: Best Buy: Compaq model 5888 (Athlon 700MHz) - 7 on racks, several 5868 (600MHz), and several 500MHz models, full spectrum. IBMs are 650, 600, and 550 only, few NEC-500MHz, hard to count everything. Judging from overall types of boxes, the impression about Intel/AMD ratio is 50/50. Surprisingly, no 733, no 700, no 650, nor any other Floppermines. Notebook count is 5:7 for AMD. Another observation: as usual, Athlon demo on IBM display machine sucks big. There is an AMD marketing clip, but it is never running, in contrast with HP P-III demo machine. Could this indolent inept AMD marketing do something about this? Some screen saver, always on top in 1 minute? Is it really hard to do? CC - Compaq 5888 (Athlon-700) - 1 stock, 1 demo. No Pentiums above 600. CompUSA - few Compaq Athlons. Eventually, a HP 8595C model - 733MHz, 1 - demo, 1 - stock. No other models. Draw your own conclusions. Regards, - Ali
