Can anyone explain to me how AMD can produce 266 Mhz chips when they can't even make 233 Mhz chips that will run at 2.9, 3.2 volts? Obvious answer is that they will have to move to .25u? Meanwhile, PentiumMMX's easily run at 291Mhz at .35u. So, AMD get's 266 this quarter and maybe 300 by mid year...but lest we forget what happens when Intel get's the PII at .25u...333 and even 400Mhz... AMD is still 2 speed grades behind. The more things change the more they stay the same. AMD still gets no cream off the top end. Unless, AMD has some kind of secret K-6 1/2... they are S-O-L on the top end. Jim
