Combjelly, Re: "True. But so far, the XPs seem to carry a price premium over Intel's chips at the same clock rate. Heck, some are even priced close to P4s clocked at their model rating..." If this eventually works out for AMD, then I'll of course change my mind over the idea. So far, however, besides the Internet enthusiast community, I have not seen much support for the Athlon XP over the Pentium 4. Most casual users I've seen buy into AMD's marketing QuantiSpeed as a benefit to the CPU, but they still see the megahertz number (displayed by all OEMs that I've seen), and believe that the Pentium 4 is still faster. AMD's really not doing a good job with their "TPI", IMO, and I have a feeling that AMD's premiums might help their revenues, but will probably end up subtracting from their market share. wanna_bmw
