Jim, Re: "At any rate, if there ever was a verification of my TM- Megahertz sells, this is it. Cyrix, no MHz, no sales..." Well Jim ... How do you explain Alpha. Plenty of MHZ (relative to other workstation vendors), but not really a success ... Didn't DEC have to sell out ?? If the K7 comes in >= to fastest PIII, do you think the K7 will out-sell the PIII ... I don't think so. <ggg> Make It So, Yousef

Jimbo - Re: "Do you think the FAB is a loser or the M2 core design just won't scale enough regardless of the process technology?" They BOTH have to be terrible. Let's face it - a 0.18 micron process should be able to ACCELERATE a 250m MHz device - which is what the MII seems to max out at on a 0.25 micron process. ANd the CYrix division has had TWO YEARS Putzing around with HOT PEPPER CORES to boost the speed of their products on ANY NEW PROCESS. In the case of NSM/Cyrix, ZIPPO ! Thay are giving up that FAB for a GOOD REASON !!! Paul
