RE:"I guess the new speeds probably use the new stepping due April"... Must be what the author was thinking... Then again, that's a pretty big step...800 to 933. Well I guess not, considering the "vapor" of it all... All this says to me is Intel is pulling out all the smoke, mirrors and hype they can just to get to Willy. I'll bet they will announce Willy well in advance of any volume availablity just to try a nd "freeze" the market into waiting for Willy. Intel is sly and has no conscience. Wouldn't surprise me to see Willy announced in September, if they see an opportunity to launch it at a higher speed than the current Athlon at the time. I hope AMD can see this coming...and pull a fast one themselves. They should release a BIG speed jump right at or right before they think Intel will announce the Willy. Clearly, this has turned into a cat and mouse game. I don't expect Intel to give out exact deatails of their launch schedules any more... BTW...added more AMD today... Jim
