Jim, yes the Best Buy/PGL (Professional Gaming League) press release was great. There was a hint at AMD going after the gaming market when Atiq Raza, probably AMD's NEXt GENeration CEO, was interviewed in BOOT magazine late last year (January issue) Here's a reference which gives summary of the interview: Message 2982090 Its apparent Atiq expected the K6-3D intro to be "late 1st quarter - early 2nd quarter," but I believe the slippage was due more to software support and 100 MHz chipset than because of AMD. Anyhow, being one month late is better than most expect from AMD. As I recall from the interview, Atiq did not expect to fully catch up to Intel's CPU speed in '98 but he did think that AMD would get closer with the K6-3D and K6-3D+. Petz
