Re: "Do you know when Anand got his K7? Do know when Anand's K7 was made? Do you know what "revision" K7 Anand has? Do you know that there isn't a final K7? Do you know that just because Anand doesn't have a K7 yet, there isn't a final K7 yet? Do you know when the chip Anand will get was/will be made? Think about the questions. NOBODY knows all these facts. Not Anand. Not AMD. NOBODY. Certainly not the likes of you." Now Kevin, you seem perfectly happy to believe anyone who posts the praises of the K7 yet let someone raise the specter of doubt and you have a sh*tfit. Many many months have gone by and still all we have public are "foils". When Maxwell was proclaiming the K7 to be the fastest processor in the universe all you AMDolts poped woodies and scoffed at my criticism. I told you them that the K7 wouldn't live up to the hype and I'm telling you again now. If you had followed the K6 release you would have seen the same thing. Hype upon hype that the K6 was going to blow away Intel's best. This is an exact replay but you just can't see it. The world will always have people like you who will believe because you need to believe. When I say the K7 is still buggy you have no idea what information I have access to. How could you know? Some of us are under NDA and actually keep our mouths shut. You assume that anyone who knows anything will blab it here like a particular person we all know who is so infatuated with the K7 it proves the saying that "love is blind". I may know far more that you suspect. You just can't conceive of anyone keeping a secret. EP
