Tch, Tch Paul, resorting to name calling? are we? I think that you misunderstood my question. I thought that a PhD would understand the "x vs x-1" without any problem, but I guess not. Let me restate: In previous generation transitions (you know like from the 486 to the Pentium, from the Pentium to the Pentium II, from the Pentium II to the Pentium III), did Intel, during any of these transitions, after having released the NEXT generation processor to the market, go back and did these bus speed doubling, cache increasing, new chipset etc. enhancements to the previous generation processors ? Paul, if you don't want to answer the question just say so! Please don't resort to juvenile name calling. Maybe Scumbria or Ali or anyone else with better memory and knowledge than me could answer this question? TIA guys (and perhaps gals), TG

Hi all; Re Paul Engel's post: "you have the gall to call yourself a TechieGuy ??" ... "You are clueless" ... "get lost - you waste everybody's time." ... "go sit in a corner." #reply-14205976 I think it is time to get rid of Paul permanently. You can count this as a vote in favor of same. -- Carl
