Since there's already competition in the 500MHz-800MHz range, they will be
cheaper in that range, unless the performance is very convincing. Even if that
were the case, it wouldn't last long before a comparable chip would be released
from AMD.

Thank you for the info on double pumping. I think I understand the concept, at
least partially.

Best wishes...
