Craig - Re: "AMD must feel like the richest and handsomest guy in Lesbos. No matter how hard he gets or tries, he still can't get laid. " I wouldn't say that. Jerry Sanders makes sure that AMD gets screwed all the time. Paul

Craig - Re: "Not a chance in hell. Ten-Year-Olds are incredibly good at gaming. When he gets my PIII, I'll need at least a 767 MHz Copper-Thing just to keep parity. " So...that's the secret. Keep your son "handicapped" with the slower CPU. Not a bad idea...as long as you're buying. Paul

I don't really care about AMD or Intel stock vs. each other, I have both in equal $$ amounts... but I've just got to ask... do you realize that it would take a 1500 MHz Coppermine to keep up with a 1000 MHz K7? It's all in the system bus speed, fellas. Last time I checked, 133 MHz wasn't 200 MHz. No matter how fast Intel's chips are, they still won't perform like a K7 until they figure out that high-falutin' 200 MHz bus speed technology.
