Elmer, I didn't say that Via's chipset worked. I said they we're the first company to announce an AGP enabled Socket7 chipset. They'll fix their problems soon and if not AMD will be there in Q298. And with respect to the production date of Intel's Slot1 AGP enabled motherboards: It's true they introduced the AL440LX motherboard in August/September, however, they are just starting to ramp production on that motherboard. So maybe I was off by 1 quarter. Okay, Intel lead is now down to 6 months. Certainly, from a performance standpoint AMD is in a very good position to challenge Intel. For a company with $1.5B in profits per quarter, their insurmountable performance lead has dwindled to an insignificant timeframe. Why pay an extra 25% for the same level of performance? So Intel can make those stupid "Bunny People" commercials? Play that funky music Elmer!!

Elmer, < Nobody has yet offered a chipset that works for socket7. Not VIA, not AMD.> You are a shameless liar and falsificator. Fuchi is right. This guy Uberclockmeister has performed the whole bunch of tests and THE VIA AGP WORKS - otherwise he would not get any results.To state opposite is a lie. IT WORKS, and the FACT is published. You cannot twist this fact (sorry, you and Paul can do anrything to please your payee). The results are exactly as anticipated - no visible gain for business applications; the same result was shown with Intel 440LX chip set. Are you having a problem with that? For how long would you continue to blow this bubble?
