Chimpo - Re: "AMD had to execute perfectly to catch Intel in the MHz race and all Intel had to do was change the clock muliplier on the Celeron because we already knew it would run at 400 and more. " And just how is it so easy to raise that clock multiplier on the Celeron ? Was Intel lucky ? Did they steal that capability? Maybe Intel just executed superbly. By the way, I notice that the term Celery in your vocabulary has been replaced by CELERON. Paul

<The big difference was that AMD had to execute perfectly to catch Intel in the MHz race and all Intel had to do was change the clock muliplier on the Celeron because we already knew it would run at 400 and more.> And of course, Intel had this luxury because God (or the other guy) decided that Intel chips should be allowed to run faster than AMD's. Perhaps this is an admission on your part that AMD was further behind Intel in the speed race than you thought. But then why should you be surprised, considering that the handwriting was already on the wall? Tenchusatsu
