Joe, re: "Is NW 2.2 GHz available with 533 MHz FSB?" No. So AMD should only be comparing to a 2.2GHz NW/400FSB and can avoid 533FSB until model 2400+. May 6, 2002 (2.26B, 2.40B, and 2.53B GHz µPGA478 0.13 µm) sandpile.org Also confirmed on Intel's web site intel.com; While I don't hold AMD's benchmarking in any higher regard than Anandtech, AMD's benchmarks must support the model numbers and I think they will run out of steam unless they adjust the MHz:Model ratio. A 166FSB would actually help here as each multiplier step would be 83MHz instead of 66MHz plus the gains from the increased bandwidth. While it has been mentioned that AMD is focusing its efforts on Hammer, how much work for AMD is there for a higher FSB? Wouldn't this fall more on the motherboard vendors? -PT
