Gene - Re: "Looks like the Taiwanese also want AMD to survive." Too bad AMD doesn't have a CPU to work in those 100 MHz boards. But guess what? What CPU CAN BE CLOCKED at 100 MHz external clock speed? You guessed it! That soon-to-be-going-out-of-business-Intel's Pentium MMX! Paul {==========================} techweb.cmp.com ""We are currently testing an overclocked Pentium 200-MHz MMX CPU with the Aladdin V at 100 MHz. So far, it is running stably," said Lin "I wouldn't recommend to my brother, though, that he buy such a system." Though there will be a market for overclocked Socket-7 mainboards with 100-MHz core logic, that market will not seriously challenge Intel. For PCs equipped with either of these core-logic products, large volumes of 100-MHz CPUs will have to flow to market. "We believe that 100-MHz CPUs will be available sometime during May or June," said Rudy Liu, associate vice president of desktop marketing at Acer. "Acer will not offer overclocked CPUs as a viable option for our customers." The lack of a viable CPU is the main reason some Taiwanese mainboard makers aren't bothering to design these boards yet. Intel has no plans to offer Pentium-level 100-MHz CPUs. AMD's 0.25-micron, 100-MHz K6-3D won't be available until May or June. Cyrix's M2 isn't set to ship until the third quarter.
