Charles Some final thoughts: Currently, the limitation on AMD seems to be infrastructure and the consequent lack of penetration into the business side. No amount of MHz lead is likely to fix those problems. A gradual ramp is best for this and many other reasons. I believe that AMD still suffers from a gap in awareness....as well as a gap in credibility. From a marketing point of view, the way to overcome the gap is have a product far superior to the competition....having t-bird at 1.5 G would do that. If its not possible to produce reasonable amount of parts, then of course I would not want AMD to push it....a phantom launch is the last thing AMD needs. However if it is doable, then I would go for it...its a way of leaving Intel in the dust at least temporarily and would really put AMD on the map. AMD is still considered by many the KMart of semi's and that bias has to be overcome. P.S.: Too many posts on this topic. Why? Did the thread police contact you? I will try not to post anymore on this subject unless something really compelling shows up. Its seems that people find the topic compelling as it is...what's wrong with that? ted
