Tony, RE:"a piece of data showing Intel's processing prowess. Jim does call them pretty straight, though."... I was the first to report here that the 300A would overclock to 450 85-90% of the time. So far, Intel has been pretty good at fooling most of the people, most of the time with their segmentation stragety and apples to oranges iCOMP rating. Intel is not beyond releasing "ringer" engineering samples to the right sources either. A trick AMD should learn. While most boxmakers will help support AMD for competetive purposes but they are not beyond being sluts. Let's suppose AMD held off on the K6-3 per boxmakers requests for K6-2s into Christamas. Now, with Intel hurrying the Celeron 400 it'a left a few week gap in AMDs speed grade advantage over the Celeron. meanwhile, the same boxmakers who held off the K6-3, place orders for the 400 Celeron. The moral of the story is, continuously come out with incrementally higher speed grades as fast as you can...ie...the 400, 433, 450 etc... Also get the fastest chip out there ASAP, ie..K6-3. You can't hold back in this business. What was that Satchel Page said...Don't look back, someone might be gaining on you... Jim
