Merlo - Re: ""AMD has the better CPU". That is why people like me are willing to wait for the K6-III 450MZ." If AMD DID have the better CPU, then you wouldn't be waiting for it, now would you, Merlo ? Since you ARE waiting, then clearly, AMD DOESN'T HAVE IT. Meanwhile, Intel is seling a HELLUVA loy of 450 and 500 MHz Pentium IIIs and.... as of tomorrow, they will be selling a goodly number of 500 and 550 MHz Pentium III Xeons. By the way - maybe you can get a 550 MHz Pentium III Xeon TOMORROW - no waiting at all ! Paul
