Hey Dan, Article in the Intel Developer Update Magazine regards upcoming Windows XP is very interesting and suggest a big push to sell Pentium 4’$

developer.intel.com

A few highlights in the article.

“The introduction of Microsoft Windows* XP consumer operating system and the availability of Intel® Pentium® 4 processors at mainstream price points is generating a powerful platform shift for the PC industry”

“ Microsoft has announced a launch date of October 25, 2001 for Windows XP. To help system builders benefit from this momentum, Intel is introducing four new mainstream Pentium 4 processor-based desktop boards offering support for multiple memory types and Intel's Pentium 4 processor roadmap. “

“The introduction of Windows XP will likely represent one of the most highly publicized transitions in the history of the PC industry.”

“Intel® Desktop Board:Your Choice for Windows XP
Intel® Desktop Board CD multimedia-ready. With the proliferation of DVD and CD-RW devices, users must be equipped with the essential software components they need. Intel desktop boards include a comprehensive selection of applications and utilities designed to enable the best possible user experience.
The Intel desktop board CD includes:
Norton Internet Security*–includes Norton Antivirus*, Norton Personal Firewall*, Norton Privacy Control*, Norton AntiVirus*, and Norton Parental Control*.
RealPlayer* Basic–optimum performance with Internet streaming media.
RealJukebox* Basic–record and manage MP3 music files.
SoundMAX* with SPX–3D positional sound with advanced audio rendering technology
NTI CD-Maker 2000*–create audio and data CDs.
Intel® Rapid BIOS Boot–speeds Power On Self Test (POST) routine in speed system boot with Windows XP to cut boot time to as little as 20 seconds.

Pretty neat. I think I see AMD thru the smoke in my rear view mirror!
