Re: "Gotta say it again...It's not much of an advantage in the 700 MHz plus segment, when you can't seem to produce in meaningful retail quantity into that segment, the top-end! Don't you just get the feeling that AMD is stalling at 1 gig, until they are convinced, and that may be never wrt the PWEeeIII, that the botched gate problem at Intel has been effectively resolved?" NiceGuy this issue pales when we consider the massive number of defective Athlons shipped to customers that must be replaced. EP

SpryGuy - re: "It's not much of an advantage in the 700 MHz plus segment, when you can't seem to produce in meaningful retail quantity into that segment, the top-end! " Comment: Intel is DOMINATING the Retail segment - for 800 MHz and lower. AMD is dominating the RETAIL segment for >800 MHz - which itself is probably only 20% of the retail market segemnt ? The RETAIL segment is about 15% of the total CPU segment !! Intel owns 95% of the CORPORATE and COMMERCIAL SEGEMENT - from 1 Hz to 1 GHz !! What would you rather have - 80% of 20% of a 15% market - or 95% of an 85% market ? Paul
