Kenith, Re: "It's only 13mhz and 6 respectively from the last ... Why shouldn't this game be continued?" Maybe you didn't notice Kenith, but those earlier speed "bumps" were about 10% increases ... Thus above 300mhz, I would expect speed "bumps" to be 30mhz -> 50mhz increments. Re: "Why shouldn't this game be continued?"" Each new speed grade requires extensive testing and qualification, not to mention the marketing and working with customers. AMD can continue with their 16mhz speed "bumps" ... At this rate, we won't see 400mhz K6-2's until next year. You're right, Kenith ... 366mhz K6-2's look great and maybe AMD should consider 5Mhz increases. <ggg> Make It So, Yousef
