He said revenue model, not patents. Intel wants to tax memory sales by requiring all memory manufacturers to pay a license fee to Intel and its partners - that was the rambus model. Dan, he said revenue and technology which I thought meant the stuff patented.......but maybe he meant it in a very general sense. Comments, Goutama? ted

Athlon 750 a little flakey at 1050MHZ, but rock solid at 1025MHZ Daiki: pc-info.hypermart.net has a link to Bunny: www16.big.or.jp for the details of this overclocking exercise. Water cooling was used. There are also some interesting benchmarks (run at 768MHZ) comparing 1/2, 2/5, and 1/3 L2 cache performance. It appears that when you have 128K L1 (coppermine only has 32K), a slow L2 isn't a problem. It looks like AMD can take it's time in producing on chip cache Athlons. No need to rush it and make Intel style mistakes. Off chip cache looks to be OK for at least 1GHZ. Dan
