RE: <The Willamette demo put to rest the belief that AMD could come out with much higher speeds any time they wanted to. They couldn't and they didn't.> Elmer, I think that AMD would have been ill advised to try to match the Willamette demo and tip their hand so to speak. After all Willamette will not be on tap until Q4 why legitimize it now by responding to it, at some point you have to choose your battles. They could very well have the ability to respond but simply decided it would be unwise and so chose not too. I may be wrong but that doesn't change the fact that all the lack of a demo proved conclusively is that they didn't, not that they couldn't. Whether they could or not is still a matter of speculation. Thanks, Epinephrine
