Elmer, RE:"Once more for the record, I never worked for AMD and I have never been involved with benchmarking for anybody. But you knew that.... And on the topic of being biased, yes I am biased but the difference between you and I is that I have one sentiment that doesn't change with the wind and I admit it. BTW I think I have been very objective with my investing. I started investing in AMD when it started moving up and continue to add to my position to this day. I bought more today and posted it on the AMD thread in real time." ---- I never expected you to give us the whole AMD story so I won't search in that direction. So you are not involved in beanchmarking but are you involved in testing for Intel in some manner? I don't expect you to answer. Like I've said before, I'm an equal opportunity basher/praiser. I called a flopper a flopper, a Rambust a bust and an K-6 a no scaler, no SMP pathetic, relying on Taiwan chipsets a mistake, i815 is a great help for Intel...etc. On the other hand, you don't see me calling a coppermine a floppermine anymore...yes, Elmo, things do change. Intel has done an amazing job with PR and getting the old P6 core to run a lot faster. They are "getting to Willy" and I'm sure a SDRAM chipset is in the works for it...OK, still gonna be 6-9 months but in the works. I still think Timna will be a failure (they can ditch it and not feel it too much) and Merced I don't know enough about. So Intel is still patching up things but they are looking a lot better than they did 3 months ago. You buy AMD, but still make excuses for Intel, never for AMD. Then again, as I've said. AMD needs to execute better than Intel, IMHO. Jim
