John - Re: "This is looking kind of dire for AMD. They are about to launch the die-shrunk (.13-micron) Athlon (aka, thoroughbred) but the power consumption is almost identical to Palomino, and they are already a quarter late." Elmer and I have been telling the MADroids this same thing for about 9 months. Re: "AMDroids think that their salvation is to bump the FSB to 166MHz. There's only one thing wrong-- it makes no difference in performance." Are you sure of this? I know the Pentium 4 has shown a significant performance increase in going to 533 MHz FSB coupled with 1066 MHz Rambus memory. Paul
