Mc Mannis - Re: "My only point really was the MHz gap you can drive a truck through. Something we talked about a long time ago. But it seems it will widen even more the way P4 will scale." You don't realize hoe people buy computers - although you claim to do so. They look at NAME BRAND, price and speed. And in that NAME BRAND, Intel is a large factor. When the 1 GHz number and Intel are combined, and the price is in the appropriate range, most PC buyers hit the "Purchase Button". That's why AMD could only muster a measly 17% market share during the time when Intel was operating at its worst and AMD was operating at its best. Now, Intel is doing really well from an operaitonal-execution standpoint, and AMD is back to tripping over its own baloney-stick. Paul
