Re: "Do foils run inside demos? Looks like a 500 mhz k7 and 400 Mhz k6-3 notebook or two...verdad?" No they don't run in demos and they don't produce benchmarks. They don't go in systems and they don't generate revenue. They DO get a lot of naive people excited though. We are all waiting for something BESIDES foils. You guys know you are really going to get an earful from me if there aren't any public demos and benchmarks from Comdex. You do realize that don't you? Don't forget Intel demoed an 800mhz+ Katmai months ago and they are showing a Katmai-Camino-Rambus system right now that blows away anything AMD hopes to offer with 1.6 Gigabyets per second memory bandwidth. Let's see that K7 so we can start debating facts and not just hype. I'm sure you guys are as anxious as I am. I've got my neck out and so do you. EP
