Hello Cirruslvr, Re: This AMD-Intel rivalry has enough stories to earn its own book written about them! I agree. The "big" deals that happen almost daily between these two companies and the world market that brings them together must be fascinating. Maybe someday Jerry will write his memoirs. I often reflect on what picture AMD is seeing when these deals face a decision. We now know AMD was manufacturing 700 MHz Athlons in early March 1999 but delayed public availability until November 1999. We had no access to the inside picture for months after Jerry knew. What does Jerry know now? How good is Dresden? How good is the copper Athlon? How difficult is it to make on die L2 cache? How cheap can the Spitfire be manufactured? How are the SMP projects coming along. How is the virtual gorilla concept working out in practice? I've got to stop, I'm outlining the book (hehe). Kindest regards CrazyMan
