Tony, Re: "True. There was speculation when Intel came out with, what, Katmai and Willamette, that they may have names other than PIII and P4. Intel correctly figured that the Pentium name was too much of an icon to fool with." I was just saying - either AMD figures that they just don't have a good brand name reputation with the Athlon that they are willing to maintain, or that Magee's sources are wrong once again. Neither seems unplausible, but I don't think it makes much of a difference in the end. The Athlon was a second-rate name to begin with. Vantron, Optitron, or Decepticon wouldn't be any worse (unless the latter one has copyright issues <g>). wbmw
