The article said that they could get the motherboard otherwise to 230/115MHz, suggesting that it was not the limiting factor. No? Also, it is rather interesting to note that this was written by Craig "Mako" Campanaro, who was a huge AMD bear last year when he wrote for Sharky Extreme. -JC

Henry, Intel may continue losing market share at the high end of the processor market segment to AMD at a faster rate than anyone predicted. I'm not sure on what planet, Planethardware is based, but some one should flash them the news that at the GHz end of the processor market by virtue of being outsold 10 or 12 to 1, Intel has very little market share left to lose! OTOH, I guess they could retort that that in one day, yesterday, Intel lost all their market share at ~1.1 Ghz and that was faster than anyone predicted just as they forecast. Dave
