Jim,

Good to see you back. I thought you went to California to spend your AMD profits with Paul! Either that or STILL doing your taxes. You DID flynch... ;)))

Jim,

Looks like Mr. Sanders is deadly serious about raising the entry level bar to 800 MHz fairly quickly..

That would be a nice payback for the K6/PII days.

Re: "Could AMD be slowing production of all Athlons under 750MHZ in order to make way for a new chip?"

Comment: That is clearly my interpretation of Mr. Sander's short term strategy...Since the Xbox fiasco, he has been circling the wagons, and I also interpreted his post Xbox comments to mean that he didn't want to take any prisoners!

Jim <Could AMD be slowing production of all Athlons under 750MHZ in order to make way for a new chip?>

That was my thought. Release Spitfire as high as 650. Some of the early speculation was that Spitfire might surpass the current Athlon in some benchmarks, right? What is the latest rumor on the "slowest" Spitfire?
