Cirruslvr, About those production problems again I still don't understand where the idea that AMD had "production problems" came from. The K6 family has moved up in MHz at a remarkable rate, well above the industry average. The fact that there was a speedpath is not an indication of a problem. By definition there is always a critical speedpath in every design. Had the top MHz increased faster, AMD would have made more money- but that is always the case for Intel competitors. Scumbria

Cringe Cringe - Re: "ALL of them were 350 and above. 8 were 400MHz. Almost no Celeron PCs were advertised. " Maybe Jerry wasn't 'TRUTHFUL" with the analysts. Maybe AMD has a ton of 400 MHz K6-2's. Maybe AMD has some other hidden problems. We're gonna find out in 3 more months. Get ready for a another CRINGE ! Paul
