What I also find real interesting about the TomsHardware page you reference is the counter at the bottom. Can this be right? tomshardware.com "This page has been visited 72313 times since October 8, 1997" that's a lot of hits/eyes looking at the C6...... Note: just went back and checked the page source and the number 72313 is hard coded.....Maybe they meant to say the page had 72,313,000,000......etc hits. Oh well, hopefully people are looking at the C6, and those people have real money to spend.

<------------72,544. thanks, dave ( i remember tom's first look.) <<The road map doesn't look too bad regarding the above said. IDT is planning a 225 (3x75) MHz and a 240 (4x60) MHz version for this November and next year there will be a WinChip C6+ with improved FPU performance (as fast as Pentium MMX) and much improved MMX performance (faster than Pentium MMX) as well as extended x86 instructions that shall improve 3D performance up to threefold. These new instructions will be distributed within Microsoft's next Direct3D. The WinChip C6+ will use a 1/4 micron die and run at only 2.5 V. For late '98 we can expect a 300 MHz C6+...>> funny: somehow tom, the posters at BYTE, and the editors of PCWORLD and PCMAGAZINE appear to have more facts than IDT investors about product specifics. or, at least, it appears that way. in that vein, can anyone provide more details about murphy's television appearance, specifically what computers were displayed with the C6? ( on what show did he appear?) his information seems to echo the local paper's coverage, but with a bit more of a positive slant as to volume encountered at the IDT booth... the local paper left me with visions of foil wrapped intel van dancers shaking your groove thing while a sober minded competitor preached new age spirituality on a chip a la elmer gantry... and poor little "lucky to be there at all" IDT in the middle, cast in homespun frugality sporting a modest six terminals... shake your ramp thing IDT: we just may have a real shot at something.
