RE:"The Athlon could just as easily have been a place-holder than an original design"

I thought there were functioning x-box w/duron units.

wbmw, but why do that and not design with a P3 instead? Also, why is there a HT in there? No one argued this point when the Xbox was about to be introduced. I don't know why it's coming up now. Even the intelabees had resigned themselves to the Xbox being a K7 win before the final announcement came that it would be an Intel chip.

p.s. It was not a mockup. It was a working xbox prototype.
