Harry, <why all the worries about a 1.5 ghz having all of those disruptions when they have never been that much of a problem in the past? > That was not a "worry". As someone who has lived and breathed this kind of stuff for a while, I was just trying to show the thinking that goes with product releases. <There are compelling reasons to bring out the fastest speed Tbird AMD HAS. > Could you post your thoughts on why bringing out the fastest part is the right strategy in the current situation? I would be interested in seeing all the pros and cons. Getting a "wow!" may be good PR strategy but productization based on PR factors alone is a losing game. Chuck
