John Re: <I don't know where Sharky got his info, but Bob Silvani of AMD stated publicly that "there will be no K7-500." So Sharky's info contradicts your optimistic May-day scenario and the "official line" of AMD which still maintains 1st half 99. And Silvani's (Silvano?) statement sure implies 600 MHz to me.> I know - so for the time being, it's -- just hang out and wait. How reliable have you found Sharky to be? - I haven't paid much attention to him. I would expect that initial releases of the K7 would be extremely limited -- and extremely expensive! We just bought a dual Xeon from CPQ for over $10,000 - what a waste of money - but the software was specified to run on that box by the developers! Interesting that CPQ is giving home users free 21264 OS.('course LINUX is also free for that cpu) tgptndr - & just as soon known as tp - which takes less typing
