Re: "Unless there is a 500Mhz Pentium II on the Intel horizon in the next few months then when AMD moves to 400...it will be one speed grade behind...450 to 400. As of right now, you are correct they are 2 speed grades behind and 100 MHz..." Jim, Intel and AMD announced higher speed parts within a couple of days of each other. Intel increased by 50mhz, AMD increased by 17mhz. You seem ready and willing to believe AMD will have a faster part in a few months so why is it so hard to imagine Intel will too? In addition, Intel was well ahead of AMD in introducing .25u production. I heard it down by the swimming pool that Intel is very close to .18u, which means perhaps 600mhz or higher. Don't compare AMD's future offerings with Intel's current ones. Compare AMD's to Intel's future offerings. That means 2 or more speed bins. The gap is widening, not narrowing. I wish I could say more but I can't <G> EP
