RE:"All the weird information is confusing - and I think that maybe Willamette will be re-worked - and appear in early/mid 2001" Well, you are giving mixed signals...for a while there I thought you "knew something" about Willy having an early release. Now you come up with this. In one way it does make sense that Willy had to be reworked in order for Willy to lead the Athlon in MHZ by an amount sufficient at the time of release. As we know from AMDs past failures at catching up that this is not an easy task. Any slip and you're behind... Intels greatest fear may be that by the time Willy is ready, it will be slower than Athlon. This is fun but XLNX seems to be where the money is...all I hear is chip shortages...and more chip shortages... Jim PS...remember, not all here doubt Intels ability to make a quarter... Intel has too many weapons, they CAN make Q1, Q2...etc...they proved that last Q...
