Now it appears Intel intends to >rectify that problem, and they have the know-how to accomplish their goals. Yes, but when a company can sell chips that generally perform (as far is chess) well even at a lower frequency is (to me) ahead! So if this is true they may have already something better to bring to the market when it will be the right time. This is what I suspect. Maybe I am wrong. Time will tell. > >I hope AMD can and will compete for supremacy as it will continue to put >the impetus on Intel to stay ahead and vice versa. IMO This is what I think. I feel AMD will relatively soon bring to the market a cheaper and more powerful 64 bit processor. It's just a feeling. With K7 they have shown to have the knowledge. > >Terry Sandro
