ted - <What I questioned was whether it was running at 1500 GHz, or at a much lesser rate. I firmly believe given the Willamette's immaturity and the probability of its crashing, they would not risk running at the higher speed for 2 hours!> I am extremely confident the speed was over 1GHz. ZDN is reporting it at 1.4, although I personally don't know if that was the exact speed or not. PB

Re: "I was the one who originally posed the question to Elmer and my question never questioned whether it was a Willamette or not. I am pretty honest so I believe it when Intel says it was a Willamette." Ted, I am biased as you know and I would assume it was running at a slower speed. Even if it was running at 800MHz I don't think that cheapens the significance of the confidence they showed by running it for 2 hours. In addition there were 3 1 GHz system demonstrations from DELL, HP, and IBM running what I believe were air cooled standard production process CuMines. Contrast that with AMD's quick demo of a MHz meter hosted by Compaq, HP, Gateway, IBM... oh wait a minute... nobody was there showing systems were they? Never mind. AMD has never done this with production material. Furthermore Intel stated they are in production NOW with 1 GHz CuMines and are shipping limited quantities to customers NOW. Because we have been assured by the experts on this thread that this is impossible we must assume DELL, HP and IBM were lying, alone with Intel. EP
