It probably is faster, but they don't need to make it faster unless they have to right? Paul

BTW, my parent's house in Los Alamos is OK. Scumbria, That's good to hear. I was shocked to learn that the fire was started by the Forest Service doing a controlled burn. Aside from the fact that controlled burns are controversial, to do one in Los Alamos with the weather service predicting low humidity and high winds is unconscionable. I am sorry the people of Los Alamos had to pay for such negligence. ted

Scumbria <It seems odd that T-Bird is not any faster than Athlon, given the smaller transistors and copper wires. I wonder what's going on? I've been out of the country all week, so please excuse me if this has already been discussed.> I think it's perfect. Now Athlon Select replaces Athlon at the high end and blows away Pentium in benchmarks. Many IT guys I know are still unimpressed with the 1 Gig Athlons because of their performance vs Pentiums (as reported by PC Mag). Why release processors now above 1 gig when few people are even buying the 1 gig?! Save it for later, then release them as Willamette is released. Just staying one step ahead of the competition will strengthen AMD's (the stock) run - and benefit shareholders. Dave Glad you had a good time, welcome back.
