<<Maybe we could all chip in & raise enough money to give Henry a membership to Presidents Health club. Looks like the C6 is not the only chips he like to munch. >> edward, and i thought i was bad for thinking that. at least i didn't post it... thanks for the intraday breakdown: you may notice i posted twice asking for anyone's insight into the non-movement in price, notwithstanding the volume and block trades. by the way, you are right. randy

<<Seems like the cuurent C6 is like training wheels , the future versions above 200 mhz will offer more potential. They better hurry - Henry acknowledged that timing is critical in the chip business. A least they are aware of this. >> Yes, and almost any user would be hard pressed to tell much difference in these classes of chips (c6 and above) because most of their tasks are being held back by other things: hard drive, modem, keyboard, think time. I get a laugh out of the exagerated bar charts where they show just the truncated ends of the chart to try to make the differences more pronounced.. I'm working on a 486-133 VLB with 16 meg right now and I do notice the difference between this and my Pentium Pro 200 with 32MB (it's about 2:1), but I don't notice the difference between the Pentium Pro 200 and my friend's Pentium 166 with 32MB. I update my stock database each day and search for certain criteria that takes about 8 minutes and the pentium pro would finish faster than the pentium 166 i'm sure, but i think that i would need a stop watch to detect the difference, my gut feeling would never notice it.
