COMMENTS SENT IN VIA THE WEB USA Dear AMD, I bought an AMD K6 200 powered Acer computer several months ago and loved it so much that I advised my brother to buy an Acer K6 machine which he just did -- a 233. Thank you for a wonderful chip at a great price. It's terrific that you're supporting Socket 7 to keep computer costs down. I'm very excited about the upcoming K6 3D and the K6+ 3D with the 100 Mhz AGP motherboard and plan to upgrade my machine to it the first of next year. I love your open architecture approach to product development because it drives the entire industry forward. I'll never buy Intel again. Keep up the great work! Todd Hester, Hermosa Beach, CA, South Africa Could you please send me info on the AMD CPUs currently shipping and available in South Africa. I am a long-time AMD CPU fan, as they are a darn sight cheaper than Intel-based systems out here and often perform much better. Either way, price/performance on AMD makes it a better buy. Yours sincerely, Lloyd De Jongh Brazil First, I would like to thank AMD for the opportunity it gives the consumer of having an option (even a better one, which is great). I also welcome the enterprise between AMD and IBM for the production of K6. I hope it will make possible an enlargement of AMD's marketshare, since such a great product (K6) should be more widespread. In my country (Brazil), few people know about it, and it's a shame. A little advertisement around here would make a lot of difference for the consumer. Think about it! Regarding to your new products AMD K6 3D MMX and K7, when there will be more information available? I'm very interested in learning more about them. Thanks, Fabiano Nagel Thank you for your support and interest in AMD! To unsubscribe: amd.c-3.com P.S.
