Lewinsky-Dan - Re: "C - Will it perform as well as a Duron 800 on Office 2000 applications and existing in-house applications run under Windows ME and Windows 2000?"

Oh...Office 2000 applications are now the AMDroid yardstick?

My guess is that a Pentium 4 will wait for keyboard input in Microsoft Word just as well as a DooWrong.

NOPs are probably real fast in a 1.4 GHz Pentium 4.

Lewinsky-DAn - Re: "Corporations need computers that can run the software they have, not systems that would be really fast if they were running nothing but non-existent brand new apps."

Is that a fact?

I suppose you have a survey of all corporate AMD customers to offer up as testemonial of this.

Re: "If somebody replaces his 866 PIII system with a $3,000 P4 system and it runs any of his existing applications just a little bit slower than the old machine there will be big trouble for Intel"

Another example of yesterday's thinking. These apps run so fast now that you wouldn't notice a thing. You need to start thinking about what the future holds in store, not the past. By your reasoning, why not simply compare DOS applications?
