This leads me to think they are in fact the same chip, with 1.33 being the more exact clock speed. 1.4 ghz will be out in June, so you might want to wait if you want the very best. Then there is Palomino, in August or September, to run I think at 1.5 or so. So basically I would recommend to wait for the 1.4 ghz T-bird if you have patience or to just buy the 1.33 since there shouldn't be much speed increase between the two (or if don't need the best of the best just wait for 1.4 and buy 1.33 then, it will be cheaper). >Is there something significantly better coming up for desk-top computer? >And, if so, will it outdo Intel on everything (if now not)? >Thanks for any information. >S.Taylor
