Petz, <you have to admit that the laptop Athlons were supposed to arrive at 800 MHz and when they did arrive (late) they were 1 GHz. > Where exactly did you get this 800MHz number? My understanding was that Palomino (or Corvette or whatever you want to call them) Mobiles were supposed to hit 1GHz at launch. never heard a 800MHz number except in the context of Durons. <Wasn't the orignal Duron laptop chip 800 MHz?> Note that that is based on Fab25 spitfire. Palominos were supposed to be a lot better off because of the new core and Cu process. Chuck
