"Over time everybody is moving toward a standardized hardware platform, and in the next 10 years that could be Intel," said James Gruener, a senior analyst at the Aberdeen Group, in Boston. "The common market misconception is that everything is going to be focused on the [Windows] NT market. But there is a significant Unix-on-Intel market that continues to grow." To me it sounds like a very real possibility, and if that happens today's INTC stock price will appear to be dirt cheap 10 years later.

Clearly with the combination of large L2 and high clock speeds of the 0.18 micron process, the K-7 will be checkmated. As noted in an earlier post "the dreaded K-7 weapon in SS AMD arsenal will be a dud. ", and hopefully for us investors, we will be able to chant "Rule Intel rule, Intel will rule the waves".

Paul, RE: Pentium III Article <<According to sources close to Intel, speeds for the Pentium III desktop chip will increase from 450 MHz and 500 MHz at launch on Feb. 26 to 733 MHz with a 133-MHz front-side bus by mid-2000. >> I understood that Pentium III (600+ MHZ) & Rambus memory (600+ MHZ) would be together on machines in a year or so. I am confused by the above statement from the article you referenced which says systems will have "a 133-MHz front-side bus by mid-2000." Won't this bus limit these machines? What is being done on the bus issue? As you can tell, I'm not an expert in this field. I'm just an interested buyer. Thanks, Duncan
