<Athlon 800MHz is on PriceWatch. No Pee3 800MHz yet.>

One more reason I want to get PB to be a little bit more specific on what he means by "very close".

Hi kapkan4u:

Surprised? Get used to this recurring thing as Y2000 unfolds! AMD has got the goods! Intel (or is it outeL) keeps wishing!

By the way...Back page of my morning newspaper with a Saturday circulation of 2.2 million readers has a 3/4 page ad that goes something like this:

New Year. New Systems. New Speed!....Introducing the Supercharger with AMD Athlon processor 800 MHZ...$148/month business lease...Purchase Price $4,349 CDN (after mail-in rebate).

Web address for IBM Home Computing Stores is: www.ibm.ca/store...

I'm going to have to pop in at my local IBM home computing store later today to what gives here...i.e when available.

Doesn't sound to me like AMD is going to let any grass grow under their feet in Y2000 if this advertisement is any indication of things yet to come!
