Re: "K7 will live up to its expectation, Windows NT as well as Windows 98." It's easy to live up to expectations when there aren't any. Virtually nothing is known about the K7 and you have no data to prove otherwise. In the absence of verifiable data, my position is every bit as solid as yours. The K7 will trail Intel's x86 offerings at every point during it's lifetime. Little has been printed about Willamette and you will be VERY surprised when you see how it performs. In the mean time, the only public claims AMD has made is that the K7 will outperform every CURRENTLY EXISTING P6 generation product. AMD has never claimed it will outperform future P6 offerings and the claims they have made may only refer to blasting mutant aliens, who knows, they didn't say. You are the only one who has made these claims and you have nothing more to back them up then you did those phoney process claims you made a while back. Your tactics are simple. Make big claims and then provide no proof. Perfect AMD hype. EP
