Scumbria, Re: Even the most die-hard Intel fans must be a little uncomfortable with this situation. I don't know if I am the most die-hard one but I am still sitting here comfortably watching this GHz race and enjoy very much for all those interesting scenarios described on the other thread :-) Gary

Scumbria, <It is becoming pretty obvious that the PIII 1 GHz release is little more than a ploy to keep AMD out of the spotlight.> There is some bit of truth to this, I agree, though I would not call it a "ploy". <In a few weeks, GHz AMD boxes will be plentiful, and Intel is going to be in hot water with the OEMs (again.)> I do not think so. Limited volumes from Intel is equivalent to plentiful volumes from AMD, IMO. Remember this is the consumer space and these systems will be relatively expensive, therefore limited. <Even the most die-hard Intel fans must be a little uncomfortable with this situation.> Aside from the "token" paranoia shareholders inherit from owning Intel, this is not uncomfortable at all. In fact I see this as a preemptive strike, and one in which AMD can do little about. Regards, SK
