<< And, BTW, as soon as AMD is capable of a volume release, they should do it. 80% of the population has no clue that an Athlon 1.2 is as fast as a P4 1.7. In fact, more than half the population probably believes that a P4 1.4 is faster than an Athlon 1.4. Fortunately, most of them are buying Celerons and Durons. >> The interesting thing about this is we don't need the general population to know, we need 30% of the people who buy computers to know, or have friends who tell them. I wonder how close we are to that number.

AMD needs marketing campaign emphasizing AMD MHZ > Intel MHZ at the exact instant that Intel starts launching the i845 SDRAM chipset." Without question. Jim
