<<Even Dell is probably secretly pulling for AMD and NSM.>> Yike! I saw a private jet landed in San Jose airport yesterday! HMMMM, it could be Michael Dell himself came to take a look at "3DLater" chips hehehehe!!!. Well my guest is not now, as long as others still mingle with AMD, Dell has a clear unblock road path (ggg), why people want to make Dell life so easy. Dell is sitting in a little rock watching CPQ, IBM sell more cheap PCs, he might move in for a kill with Mendocino, cheaper slot1 mother boards with mass production, this alone will force other people to adopt slot1 quicker and sooner. Mendocino will be priced very agressive against 3Dlater chip. 3D chip is a big hype, most game vendor has their own propriety 3D engines. Only one or two no name game vendors try this new instruction sets out via Direct-3D. Don't get me wrong competition is good for consumer and Intel, suck for investors but I have a little patient with good co. It made intel move a lot more faster, pretty soon you will see a mainframe in a little box. That IBM refrigerator is suck, I got bored and sick of it. If you ever had developed code COBOL, PLI, PLAS and written scripted documents in VM and MVS environments you know what I mean yuck yuck!. NT will rule the world.

Jim, re:<After the announcement {of K6-3D} what is there?> 1. K6-3D+ will be a very big deal if it beats Celeron II to market because it will be the functional equivalent of Slot II Pentiums selling for between $1,000 and $4,000. 2. Incresing software support for K6-3D in business applications 3. Notebooks using 300 MHz K6-3D, possibly before Intel 300MHz notebooks. 4. Notebooks using 350 MHz K6-3D+, possibly before Intel 350 MHz notebooks. 5. Working K7 demo in the fall These are a few of the possibilities. Petz
