Ten, RE:"I'd sure like to know what the heck is keeping the K7 from being the great Pentium III killer that the hype made people believe. Remember when AMD was saying that the K6-III was positioned against the Pentium III, and the K7 was going to be positioned against Willamette? Seems like the AMD hopeful will have to settle with "very competitive" instead of "mind-blowing performance." But hey, there's always the MHz, right? As usual, I'll believe it when I see it.".... ----- No need to blather on like this. We are all interested in "seeing it". AMD hasn't hyped this thing as much as you want to believe. Seems they are being very coy about it. Scumbria has said don't expect much more Winstone 99 performance. 5% to begin with is enough if the FPU is much greater. And we know the volume won't be there for months. Jim
