Scumbria, <Actually, they are missing in action foils which required a jacked up voltage, a small L2 cache, and have an embarrassing long list of errata which AMD will not publish, are based on an inferior technology to Intel with lower benchmark scores, and are a copy of decade old Intel ideas (only an unreliable version of) which were conceived of by Jerry as a vendetta against Intel without regard for the concerns of AMD shareholders, and will soon be passed by superior Intel technology which will arrive shortly in volumes that will blow AMD away, just like what happened to Cyrix and every other stupid company that ever challenged the great and mighty Intel. Furthermore, it would behoove AMD and this thread to quit whining about Intel antitrust activity and accept the fact that AMD will soon be crushed by the greatest company on earth, and the foolish fantasies of Jerry's mindless followers will be drowned forever.> Nice rant! A while back I was predicting Intel being 3 speed grades behind in March but with an ill thought out 1G launch, Intel seems to be full 4 speed grades behind in retail availability (1G Athlons vs. 800MHz PIIIs). It amazes me that Dell talks about limited availability of 850s and still sticks with Intel. I wonder how much more proof some of the folks would need to be convinced that the ball game is very different this time. Chuck
