Do foils run inside demos? Looks like a 500 mhz k7 and 400 Mhz k6-3 notebook or two...verdad? Jim

Elmer - "If I sent you a picture of a chip with "MERCED" on it, would that be proof?" Too bad you can't. Maybe if Merced wasn't delayed Intel could have shown it off at Comdex. "Let's see a public demo with published benchmarks." Patience, my friend. The longer it takes for the benchmarks to come out, the longer you can say Intel still has the fastest X86 processor. But when some DO come out, I have a feeling everyone will be impressed, even Intelabees. Anyways, nothing will become public by AMD until the chip is officially released and until then our only source of info will come from people like Tom, Anand and various other sites. Of course, when those people talk about the chip you will say it is biased, or that you haven't SEEN the processor so it is still a foil, or the benchmarks were tainted or other BS...
