RE:"With so many Design Engineers leaving AMD, it's no wonder the K7 slips further and further behind."... Oh really? K7 is slipping? When was the original release date? What were you working on at AMD? Jim

Elmer <What do you mean "first" everything?> You seem to be have a language difficulties in addition to limited technical comprehension. "First" means "first", first time ever. First superpipelined and superscalar short-tick processor from AMD. First EV6-compliant north bridge ("Irongate"). First super-south bridge ("Cobra"). First EV-6 consumer-grade mainboard ("Gomez"). First K7 BIOS. And all this in less than 2 years. And surprise - it all works! Not too shabby for a project of this scale. If you can't comprehend the challenges of the project of such a scale, you are a Simpson in computers. <Stay away from my sensitive spot, God only knows where your hands have been.> My hands are clean, but I am not so sure about yours. Restrain yourself from making untruthful remarks on this thread, and no one will ever pay attention to your "sensitivity". Judging by your behavior, your just wanted it - you got it. Enjoy. Bye, Simpson.
