<Currently, AMD 400 Intel 450.> Yeah, but AMD has to really stretch to get to 400 MHz. If Intel were as desperate as AMD, I'm sure some of the engineers would have found ways to sell a handful of their Pentium II chips at 500 or 550 MHz months ago. But it wasn't worth it, considering that most of the effort was probably spent on Pentium III development. If you draw a bell curve showing speed distributions, I'm sure we'll all see that the center of AMD's bell curve is probably a little past 350 MHz, while Intel's center of the curve is right at 450 MHz. So we could say that AMD is actually 100 MHz behind in the speed race, but of course Jerry "We're Back Where We Started" Sanders won't admit it. <I don't think God had anything to do with it? Why would you even bring that up?> God is in control of everything, but that's a different story. (Please, all you atheists or agnostics, no need to respond.) Tenchusatsu
