andreas: "Looks like this fall 1 GHz will be the mainstream PC class in Germany." And current indications strongly suggest that there is only one company currently with average binsplits around 1 Mhz, about a 300 MHz speed gap on its competition!!!

Wow!!!!!!! Incredibly good news! That's what I was looking for. Thank you, Andreas! Greetings, Peter "Very good news: The Vobis Microcomputer AG is one of Germans largest OEMs and they were Intel only for years. First Athlon systems will be available in the next few days, starting with a 1 GHz Athlon for 1999 DM (ca. $900). Looks like this fall 1 GHz will be the mainstream PC class in Germany."

Andreas - RE: "Another big German OEM defects to AMD" Do you know how big this company is? MicronPC size? What about their reputation? Every little bit helps AMD gain more momentum. Once companies switch they aren't likely to go back to Intel only, unless the AMD platform isn't stable or doesn't fit their market. I see they already have a 1GHz PIII system available for sale. I guess they couldn't get enough from Intel or at a decent price so they have switched over to using AMD also.
