Compaq Presario 7000Z, which utilizes the AMD Athlon 1GHz Athlon microprocessor (Thunderbird), is not* impacted in any way* by some of the recent technical problems which have been reported in our competitive products. All Compaq Presario desktops are rigorously tested and do not exhibit any of the anomalies that have been reported in some competitive systems. athome.compaq.com • AMD Athlon™ Processor- Click here to learn about the AMD Processor glitch (really should say GTW screwup as it's only pertaining to GTW) Milo

niceguy, Sounds like AMD currently has the capability of raising the top-end bar well beyond 1 gig, if there is any merit to this story... Too bad there wasn't anything in the article about > 1 GHz parts. I assume that there will be AMD processors in $500 to $1,000 range on September 5 and beyond, so I assume that there will be faster parts. I guess AMD will announce (and ship) > 1 GHz part when Intel announces a paper launch of 1.066 or 1.133 GHz parts. Joe
