Re: "I SAID "OVER" 600Mhz..." Yes, you did say that. But 601 is over 600. Intel publicly demonstrated a 804 mhz PII on .25u for all the world to see. What do you suppose they have running is their secret labs on .18u? My guess is that it's somewhere over 804 mhz. Keep in mind, Intel has no need whatsoever to show their hand. AMD on the other hand has every reason to hype their vapor. Remember the K5 & the K6 hype? The K6 was going to blow away Intel. Funny thing happened somewhere between hyping a product and actually manufacturing it. They could hype far better that they could manufacture. You seem to have bought the hype. You don't learn the lesson no matter how many times they run it on you. You actually believe it. It's like the battered wife syndrome. No matter how many times they do it to you, you keep believing next time it will be different. I've seen this movie before. I don't buy it. EP
