Intel Investors - OFF TOPIC * OFF TOPIC - Katmai Applications COMING ! Excuse me for the OFF TOPIC posting of Intel information, but February 17 may be the day for Intel and the ISVs - Independent Software Vendors - to announce the upcoming KNI-specific applications for the Pentium III. Paul {================================} infoworld.com First Katmai-optimized apps coming Feb. 17 By Terho Uimonen InfoWorld Electric Posted at 10:45 AM PT, Jan 20, 1999 TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Software vendors in February will take the wraps off the first applications optimized for the Katmai New Instructions featured in Intel's forthcoming Pentium III processors, a senior Intel executive said here Wednesday. The software introduction will take place at a Feb. 17 conference held in Santa Clara, Calif., prior to the official launch of Pentium III, said John Davies, Intel's vice president and general manager of the chip giant's Asia-Pacific operations. The Katmai-optimized applications are designed to take advantage of the 70 new instructions featured in the Pentium III processors for speeding up 3-D graphics, audio, video, and other functions. "It is a fabulous product," said Davies, referring to the Pentium III, formerly code-named Katmai. "And you will see more new applications than ever for a new processor generation." Crucial to creating user demand for the Pentium III, the new applications are the result of the biggest software push Intel has ever orchestrated for a new processor generation. As early as October last year, Intel had already shipped about 500 Katmai systems to hundreds of independent software vendors. The first versions of the Pentium III chips will run at 450 MHz and 500 MHz when they start shipping in late February and early March, but Intel is expected to crank up the clock-speed to 600 MHz and faster by the end of the year.

Neal,but we were discussing 'LONG TERM INVESTING by Reagan' vs 'pay off collection by Clinton' or we can always 'shift the prez term/timing' to fit the political belief. We are so confused about 'lie or no lie', 'sex or no sex', 'investment idea or political rhetoric', it's good that you seems to hold your bearing straight. It's a good day, all right (except the last minutes reversal, not a good sign). I'll collect the 'pay off' first tomorrow, if not too late. Hey, take a break sometime while making money. There's got to life after 'making money'.
