Mustang was supposed to be the answer to P4. When AMD saw P4 numbers, they realized that T-bird was plenty enough for P4. At the same time they saw an opening in the mobile space with no mobile P4 on the horizon. At this point the decision to switch became obvious. This is one place where Jerry lacks vision. He does not care for the "brand name". He'll never lead a company that makes a brand like "Nike", or "SONY" or other world leaders that can command a premium for their brand. If Mustang's numbers were so good, they should have introduced Mustang, if only for "buzz" purposes. "Good enough" over your competition does not create buzz or land you Fortune cover stories. If Mustang had decimated the P4, even if they introduced it in low volume, each article would have focused on the performance diff between mustang and P4. This would have had a positive effect even on the "regular" Thunderbird and Palominos, which they would have produced in volume and filled their factory capacity with. No company made money racing cars in the Indy 500 or the European rallies- but they spend millions on them anyway. Jerry thinks too much like an OEM, not like a brand leader! JMHO TG

<font color=blue>Can anyone here confirm 1.4Ghz T-bird on Aluminum? "Athlon 1.4 Ghz Processor, Socket A (PGA) Thunderbird Pin Grid Array (PGA) for mounting in a socketed infrastructure. The AMD Athlon processor's system bus is the first 266MHz system bus for x86 platforms, as well as the fastest x86 processor bus available, delivering up 50 percent more peak bandwidth than any other x86 system bus. The AMD Athlon system bus is designed for scalable multiprocessing and leverages high-performance Alpha EV6 bus technology to enable exceptional system performance.
