Paul - But what about the price? $229 vs $637 is pretty significant. I was going to buy a high end notebook pretty soon, maybe now I should hold back for a bit of time. I wonder if Intel may slip in some 'additional monthly price reductions' on high end PII notebook chips.... John <ggg>

"The K6 300 has been available for 3 or 4 months and has been used in notebook PCs for several months. It DOES NOT EVEN HAVE the 3DNOW instructions." Thanks Paul, After posting the WSJ article this morning I found a month old catalog with an AMD K6-300 laptop. I think you're right .... new marketing spin. Notice how "spin" is part of everybodies vocabulary these days? Larry

Paul and Mary: Re: AMD K6 300 MHz for NoteBooks If AMD can spin this chip for notebooks, why doesn't Intel respond with information that will help consumers listening to NPR or CNBC understand the differences between this and Intel's notebook chips? Am I crazy to believe that press releases can give straight information to consumers (and shareholders) if that's what the leadership wants? I'm not arguing. I am thinking and wondering how we really get the straight information, whether on power consumption or other features. Hope you will try to explain how this works for those who don't have inside information and a history in the industry. Thanks, dmf
