Jim - Re: "I see the last few days weakness due to the "sudden" Win95 bug report." My guess is that the COMDEX DEMO reality set in: The K7 had NO RAMBUS support - Intel's Camino DEMO did. The K7 reportedly had a back side L2 bus speed of only 1/3 the CPU speed. Not good - perfromance will suffer badly. The K7 DID NOT HAVE a 200 MHz front Side bus - as has been reported prior to the DEMO. Ergo, AMD's K7 has a long way to go before it is ready for "prime time". Sharpy was demoed at 400 MHz - not 450 MHz. Again, not too encouraging. Paul
