Scot, re:<Willamette, which online reports have pegged as the Pentium IV, will debut in the early fourth quarter at only 800 MHz, sources said.> Maybe Intel will try to rescue it with "PR Ratings" ala Cyrix. Great idea! Let's see: first you had the phantom cumine launch, the i820 fiasco, the rambust (what's wrong with $1000 for 128 mb???), then the "sample" 800 launch (we're launching our samples, damnit!), the icing could be PR ratings. Whoever said it earlier was wrong...Intel is not becoming AMD of last year...they're becoming Cyrix!<g> -Scot
