Paul, two years ago the 650Mhz Athlon was probably the fastest performing desktop CPU on the planet. Can you say the same thing for the P4 today? ( and please don't substitute fastest performing with anything that has to do with frequency ). Constantine

Do these BOZOs really think the 650 MHz AthWiper is a better product? Like our departed friend Scumbria, these visionaries walk through life backwards. Ever mindful of where we've been yet clueless as to where we're going. The original Pentium die was too big, too hot and slower than the 100MHz 486DX4. The PPro bus architecture was inferior to socket7 and only intended to lock AMD out. The first version of P4 is slow when running yesterday's apps for yesterday's computing. If they had any vision would they be praising AMD and dumping on Intel? Do we invest for today only? Or next week or next month? As pointed out earlier, who can hold a candle to Intel's product portfolio, process technology, manufacturing infrastructure, finance sheet and growing customer commitments to exclusively support Intel architecture? I invest for the future because that's where we're headed. EP
