Yousef, RE:"Re: "Yes ... we know that Intel has better process technology than AMD." Jim, I'm glad that you are finally starting to "get it" ... Now, if we can just get you out of the back of Jerry's "Limo". Jim, why do you think that AMD had to "jack up" the voltage on the K6-3 ?? Will this give any sort of "reliability" problems ?? ... What do the "chicken bones""... I know why AMD had to jack up the voltage on the K6-III and I would like to ask you about it but I don't think it's a good idea to post it on a public BB. I alluded to it on the this thread and to my surprise, someone picked right up on it. I'll put it too you this way, the voltage could be dropped shortly. As far as the process technology issue. You like to remind me of the quick and dirty way to compare proccess'. I am sure you won't forget about design rules either. Reliability problems? Why? The K6-2-400 is rated to run at 2.5v and the K6-233 ran at 3.2 and 3.3v.
