The battle between Intel and AMD always reminds me at a car race. You have the established leader. Very large and powerful team. Competent, well organized, with high class and expensive engineers. The winner for years and all time favorite. Very short after them, second in place, is another team. already years in the race, but always a little behind the leader. But now approaching very fast. The new machine (Athlon) they build is extremely powerful, has a lot more horsepower than the other team and the driver(Sanders) is in the shape of his life. In the engineering and support team are a lot of new names and they are doing a great job. Now the second car is waiting for an attack. Although he is faster, he can't pass, unless the first car makes a mistake. But the first car is in trouble. Engineering is unable to get more power out of it. And also the driver (Barett) is no longer what he used to be (Grove). In the second team confidence is building. In the first team comes some panic. They start to make a mistake, the runner-up is approaching, more panic, more mistakes... The end of this story, we will see in a few months. Bert
