Paul: <<AMD is dropping K6-2 prices so the 12 year olds can afford a Mutant ALien blaster toy.>> Sounds like a good strategy. A computer for every kid in the household. The children get the K6-2, the mom gets the K6 notebook, and the dad can get a PII if he still has any money left. If that is what you envisioned AMD will outsell Intel 4 to 1 where I assume each household has an average of 3 children. <<Weren't all those GAMES that you posted - except for the drivers?>> The ones that said availability=NOW mean those games come with 3DNOW or the patch is available to accelerate the games. The ones that are said TBA mean the games are not out yet but when do will come with 3DNOW. Ain't that impressive mark over MMX software? Wink. Wink. Maxwell
