Frank, What's up is that AMD sees Mhz as the be-all and end-all of the chip business. They learned it from Intel. When P4 comes out, Intel will again remember how important MHz is. ;^) Scumbria

Right, Frank. Why would anyone want to buy a ghz Athlon when they can get an 850mhz PIII for the same price? Sadly, AMD isn't selling anything for what the ghz PIII is going for, the 1.2 ghz Athlon is almost $200 cheaper. As near as I can tell, your line seems to be that AMD and Intel should get together behind closed doors and fix things up. This seems to be a rather unrealistic expectation. By reputation, Intel likes to fix things up behind closed doors, but those fixes seem to have mostly to do with strongarming people who might otherwise be interested in competitive solutions.
