John - Re: "I'll give you a hint - the chip did not have a 'II' following the 'P'." Then why didn't you say so in the first place! You have danced completely around this issue. AMD's K6 competes with Intel's 1993 technology Pentium (updated with MMX) but at a SIGNIFICANT COST disadvantage - 162 sq. mm (K6) vs. 128 sq. mm -Pentium MMX. IF AMD ran at the same defect levels as Intel, AMD would lose every time. But, AMD runs at horrendous defect levels. So they still lose everytime - only BIG TIME! Paul
