Jim, Re: Athlon dual mobos: 1.8GHz a gogo This is consistent with earlier reports about Palomino we have seen (2CPU). Maybe AMD chose to name Palomino Athlon 4 because it can keep up with P4 in clock-speed. If this is the case, the name Athlon 4 would make sense. BTW, AMD is extremely tight-lipped about the 15th. Besides the mobile Athlon launch, we might have other news (e.g. an official Athlon 4 'introduction'). This is of course just idle speculation on my part but it is unusual that AMD gives so few information prior to a major announcement. Andreas

Jim, from Mike's article: The Athlon H-Series includes SSE+, which may or may not be called 3DNow! Pro, and extensions to the instruction set include Intel Screaming Sindie 1 and 2 single and double precision floating point instructions. AMD will continue to support 3DNow, even in Hammer, when it arrives. Wtf is "Athlon H-Series"? Hammer or Palomino? If Palomino has SSE2 support, that would be huge news and (almost) clears AMD of any wrong-doing on the processor execution side (still no excuse for being less-than-truthful). -fyo
