Wasn't AMD supposed to make an announcement today? I guess they've gotten used to making their shareholders wait.

Re: "I've just thought of an idea. If you do this you will have the fastest PII in the world. What you do is as followed:

Option #1:

1) You have a PII-450. Go buy a CeleronA-333 for $200.
2) Desolder the CeleronA chip out of the slot 1 cartridge.
3) Desolder the PII-450 out of the slot 1 cartridge.
4) Solder the Celeron-A chip onto the PII-slot 1 with the 512K L2 SRAM
5) The slot SRAM now becomes L3 cache."

Don't forget to tell him to totally redesign the CPU and Slot1 card to include a L3 cache controller.

Maxwell,

I just got back from a business trip, and wow, to my biggest surprise, the old DOW is now 7,500. Are you again surviving this financial holocaust? Although I am mostly in cash, my CSCO and LU got pounded really badly recently.

Good Luck,
Time Traveler
