Ru Paul-- Then why does AMD have NO Dupalon Or AThWiper or ThumperTurd notebook CPUs? Then why has AMD STILL NOT DELIVERED an SMP capable CPU or chip set? I heard the Willenium is not going to support SMP or be in any notebooks or be in volume until 2001. I also heard it will be a great space heater (second only to Itanic). It might have been those propaganda whores at AMD marketing though. -Eric

Paul, Intel is riding on the past successes of the company. If the decision making process is not improved, they will find themselves in second place before too much longer. Scumbria

Dear Paul: But AMD has delivered SMP CPUs, the 386, the 486, the K5, the whole K6 family (you can run K6-3/400 on a dual CPU socket 7 (TX, etc) running at 66 MHz). How soon you forget. Tbird is the fastest x86 CPU in the world (1.5+ GHz in a third parties hands, yet). Tbirds are also used in the workstation and server markets. They do not need SMP to go fast. Twin Xeon 733 MHz (which you could hardly get (talk to Compaq and Dell)) are not as fast in scientific number crunching as a 850 MHz Athlon. You can get 1G Tbirds (1.1G in six days) plus motherboards for less than a single Xeon 733 MHz motherboard combo (its no contest, if you include >1GB RAM). Pete
