Jim,

Re: "I'd say Intels process technology is still slightly better than AMDs
based on the lower voltage and the ability to yield well at 450Mhz w/o
jacking up the voltage." (tm Yousef)

Jim, Now I wonder where you could have possibly heard this ... and ... Making
such pronouncements about AMD's process capability. Really amazing Jim, you
have learned something on this thread after all. <ggg>

Make It So,
Yousef

Jim - RE: "At least this time they
only are jacking it .1 volts which means they possibly can get to 500MHz at 2.4v
as you suggested without reaching the recommended limit of 2.5v."

The 500 may not necessarily require 2.4 volts to run reliably. AMD got 266-400 from 2.2 volts, who knows how long 2.3 may last?

I guess we will have to wait until the 450s come out and someone tests it.
