steve, That article says that several mobo makers as well as system makers showed operating 1 GHZ Athlons at CeBit, so I guess they have beaten Intel already "" The gigahertz Athlon does not come so quite unexpectedly for attentive CeBIT visitors: On the exhibition booth of AMD the PC manufacturers Gateway and Compaq had demonstrated already computers with this processor, presented manufacturers such as FIC their Main boards with a CCU, which was marked with " AMD-K71000 ". Well showing it an Cebit certainly qualifies as being first. Bill

Steve, <Compaq and Gateway demoed 1 gig Athlons at CeBit. Did anyone mention that? heise.de; Above article translated - translator.go.com - Last paragraph - The gigahertz Athlon (edit: regarding AMD's announcement of March release) does not come so quite unexpectedly for attentive CeBIT visitors: On the exhibition booth of AMD the PC manufacturers gateway and Compaq had demonstrated already computers with this processor,presented manufacturers such as FIC their Main boards with a CCU, which was marked with " AMD-k71000 ". With the beginner it concerns itself not around the Athlon successor " Thunderbird " out of Dresden, but around one in the 0,18æm-aluminum-process gefertigen processor out of Austin/Texas. Since the at present fastest Athlon with 850 mc/s runs, AMD will probably introduce versions for 900 and 950 mc/s in the coming days or at the same time with the 1000-MHz-Typ also." Goutama
