JDN, RE: Who's this AMD I'm not sure, but I think AMD is a little company out of California. I believe AMD stands for "Amateur's Making Duds". They analysts say this company has had great potential for many, many years. John

JDN, Who is this AMD I see cropping up on the INTC thread now and again? If you take a visit to your local computer retailer you can find out. Stroll down the isle with the top of the line desktops (> 700 MHz) for your first lesson. Scumbria

RE: AMD processors General reply to all with an emphasis on the AMD fans, I have twice gone non Intel with chips and, what a mistake both times. My latest disappointment involved a 366 K-6 equipped, purchased late last spring. Seemed like a grate value at the time. 1000 reboots later it has proven itself, time and again, to be inferior to a 233 PII. I run the same OS and software programs on both. They have the same RAM (sdram 64) and the same speed drives. The AMD system just gets plain slow after a days, and sometimes less, work. Never again. I have never had anyone I know, in the real world, give me any opinion in side by side performance, differing from mine. Maybe their new chips are and will be better. They might even approach Intel in terms of performance. But they will NEVER get in my pocket again. Fyi, long Intel since '95, held AMD for a while but shortly after I bought that AMD equipped PC, I sold it. Good luck to all. Joey R
