I liked the headline on that article, Dan3, I was going to post it myself but had to check if other fans of the ever cheeky Register beat me to it. AMD copperwhopper Intel heartstopper theregister.co.uk The deathstar bit was the best ("known to some OEMs and distributors as Deathstar") , but the whole (small) article was a riot, I liked this bit too: Both AMD and Intel make microprocessors, which many believe to be the brain in a personal computer. Cheers, Dan.

Dan, now it's "Deathstar"? And this is going up against Intel's "Northwood" (Willamette shrink to 0.13u)? Quite a contrast in names here; one warlike, the other nature-lovin'. Speaking of which, I remember Cyrix had a core that was code-named "Jedi," but then was later changed to "Gobi" because of a request from a certain movie producer. I wonder what that guy will think of "Deathstar"? Tenchusatsu
