re:This time Intel is in middle of a struggle to keep AMD out of the world of corporate computing. CPUID could be just what it takes to convince an OEM to open up the doors for AMD. This just shows how clueless you truly are. It's the corporate market that especially benefits from CPU ID. In other words, no CPU ID (e.g. AMD chips), no business from IT managers! joey

<This time Intel is in middle of a struggle to keep AMD out of the world of corporate computing. CPUID could be just what it takes to convince an OEM to open up the doors for AMD.> I disagree. This is a consumer-relations problem, not a corporate-relations problem. IT departments in the corporate world will love to have the CPU ID to keep track of their equipment. The ID can also be used for intranet verification, so that no hacker can just break into a corporate account from any old remote terminal. That's my argument for two versions of the Pentium III. There are definite uses for the CPU ID, and not just for telling www.ebay.com that you are who you really are. Tenchusatsu

Slick - Re: "This time Intel is in middle of a struggle to keep AMD out of the world of corporate computing." So far, AMD has been successful keeping itself out of corporate computing. Always being late with inferior technology with inevitable "production problems" are facts that most corporations associate with AMD - and rightfully so. Saving a couple of bucks - only to risk corporate goals and objectives - is a choice most corporations avoid like the black plague. Besides - corporations like to associate themselves with other successful companies - and Intel is a fabulous success. Being associated with AMD is like having Bill Clinton for a brother-in-law - cheap and sleazy. Paul
