CJ, Nvidia gave Athlon equal play with Pentium in all the news I saw on the subject. Remember that by all indications, the x-box Nvidia chip was originally designed for the Athlon. In general, giving equal weight to Athlon seems to be true for most of the DDR chipsets, except for maybe Via which always puts P3 first. Quite a change from a year ago, when the mobo makers were showing fear of Intel. On one side, Intel is still a bigger market; on the other side, Intel has this history of "we will bury you" pronouncements, not to mention random lawsuits. Any independent would have to be nuts to ignore AMD. As far as Mustang goes, though, I think the most important thing is still going to be AMD's 760, at least as far as the move to server space goes. I wouldn't rely on anybody else to deliver there, Via least of all. Cheers, Dan.
