Jim,

As good as a 600MHz coppermine w 256k L2 in die?

The floating point performance should be better on K7.

The integer performance is a toss up. It is possible that a Coppermine or K6-3 would perform as well as a K7 at the same clock speed.

Jim,

Well I am probably dumping my NSM and buying the great Satan Intel tomorrow.

I will probably buy some Jan 2000 Leaps and average over the next few weeks rather than picking the bottom. So if Paul is right and this more than a hiccup I should still do OK.

Apparently NSM is taking about 366-400Mhz chips coming soon out of their "0.18" micron process.

With the speeds Intel and AMD are talking about they are going to leave everybody else in the dust.

Hell a 400Mhz machine will be the entry level for laptops by year end for chrissakes!

Regards,

Kash Johal
