Re: "So wonderful that Tom has NOT yet reviewed the AMD 1.1 Gig performance" It was a paper launch by a paniced AMD who was falling farther and farther behind Intel in the MHz as well as performance race. BTW I can tell you how it performs. It trails Intel's 1.133GHz CuMine in virtually every major benchmark and also trails the 1.0 GHz CuMine in many. EP

Windsock, Tom reported that he had a functional 1.1GHz Athlon weeks before he had a non-functional 1.13Ghz PIII. Scumbria

Windsock blurted this "The same 1.1 Gig part was announced by AMD almost two weeks ago but no performance reviews have been reported. No reviews even though Tom the Overclocker proclaimed -- while dissing Intel for his failures to run the Intel 1.13 Gig -- that EVERYONE had the AMD 1.1 Gigs for testing. All was just wonderful with the AMD part said Tom. So wonderful that Tom has NOT yet reviewed the AMD 1.1 Gig performance." Well.. if you'd bothered to read some of the hardware sites.. you would know that the reason for this is AMD's NDA on the 1.1 doesnt end til Aug 28. The reviews will come soon enough. Johan of Ace's Hardware has already stated he will be posting the results the minute the NDA runs out. I think from his hints the AMD people will like what they see
