Sylvester, Intel has aggressive plans for the P4 They can plan whatever they want, but the large die size keeps P4 at low volume for at least the next 12 months. Scumbria

Sylvester, I bet all those will be P4s with RDRAM. Government contracts require using American components whenever possible. Which American company supplies the RDRAM? Scumbria

Sylvester, More good news for you and other AMD investors. AMD's 1.1GHz Thunderbird Athlon reigns as the fastest x86 processor on the planet. Gateway's Select 1100 uses this processor, and it reigns as the fastest PC we've yet tested to date at Winmag.com. How fast is it? The Select 1100 earned a WinScore 6.0 mark of 142, representing 142% the overall system throughput of our 933MHz Dell OptiPlex GX200 reference PC. All scores were excellent, but the video score, at 218% the throughput of our reference PC, was astonishing. This unit uses an nVidia GeForce2 GTS graphics controller with 64MB of DDR RAM. Scores for our Photoshop/DeBabelizer Pro, CPU and Word tests were extremely good as well at 157%, 134% and 134% that of our reference system, respectively. Gateway has taken an extremely fast processor and mated it with components that complement each other well. winmag.com Scumbria
