Elmer, RE:"AMD will not ramp the K7 to any significant volume based on the design they talked about recently (but didn't show). That design is not manufacturable (IMHO) in large quantities and will require an added L2 to have meaningful impact on the market, if then. AMD seems to be indicating they have little confidence in their ability to design and manufacture a K7 with added L2 in the available timeframe so they may be in real trouble. Time will tell." -------- Oh my, ELmer...that was quite a statement. Now why isn't "that" design not manufacturable in large quantities? So AMD must add l2 cache so it's even less manufacturable? Jim
