Paul, This same intelligence has also indicated that the K7 sample systems sent around to a few key OEM's has included "very special" cooling techniques for the K7 cartridge module. Nice try. AMD has already demoed a cooled K7 running at 1GHz. Scumbria

Paul, " This same intelligence has also indicated that the K7 sample systems sent around to a few key OEM's has included "very special" cooling techniques for the K7 cartridge module." You might want to get your source to check if he is talking about K7-700s. As far as I can tall, everyone of any consequence on the OEM and motherboard biz have seen K7s and there are no significant negative reports so far: integer - check, fpu - check, power - check, all systems ready to go... I am leery of it until it happens but launch looks imminent. Chuck

Paul Re <<This same intelligence has also indicated that the K7 sample systems sent around to a few key OEM's has included "very special" cooling techniques for the K7 cartridge module.>> Paul, I know what this "very special" cooling technique is, and it is not that special. First of all "cooling technique" will be active air cooling, so nothing new or special there. The packaging is somewhat new but it has been studied and fully understood. It all has to do with which side do you take the heat out of the die. Intel already has similar plans for near future. Mani
