Paul, JC reports that K7 scores Winstone 43. Sharky reports that K7 is a dog (of the PIII variety.) Techweb reports that Windows 2000 is running on Merced. I guess we won't know the truth until The Register reports it. Scumbria

Thanks, Paul. My experience in the past is that early rumors tend to be pretty close, so I assume that the K7 will be pretty close to a PIII. The AMD stock price at this price is saying the same thing. I don't think the 256k L2 cache will help my application as I think it will fit in the 128k cache on a Celeron, which is why the Celeron should outperform a PIII for this job. The Willamette sounds like what I want, but I don't want to wait a year, so I'll probably go with a Celeron. Again, thank, Carl
