ted, re:<Petz, are you saying the .25 um process took the Athlon to 800 Mhz and the .18 takes it to 900 Mhz and above> Yes, no Athlons built on the 0.25µ process were ever sold as 750 MHz or 800 MHz chips. If you extrapolate the current consumption and heat dissipation requirements, it would take a very good cooling solution to support a 0.25µ Athlon system over the commercial temperature range at 800 MHz and above. Nearly all Athlon's bought today are on 0.18µ, even the down-binned 550 and 600 MHz units. Petz
