Elmer, You claim it can't run that fast. Intel seems to be claiming it does. Either You don't know what you are talking about or Intel doesn't. I wish you wouldn't force us to draw our own conclusions. Remember when you argued with me about K7 last year? Scumbria

Re: If there is anything running at 3 GHz on Willamette, it must be a very tiny circuit... When it became clear that it was losing the MHZ war to Intel (back in the days when 68XXX was a real contender with 80XXX) didn't Apple (or Motorola) briefly try to claim a 2X clock speed? I believe the justification was that parts of some operations took place at both the rise and fall of the clock. When it was pointed out to them that the same thing held true for parts of Intel's chip (though fewer parts), they dropped the claim. Dan
