Hi Enrico:
Thanks for the illiminating post. Based on the URL you gave with specs on AMD
processors, it would appear that the Model 4000+ is the best processor around
now (and prospectively--for 64-bit engines).
Two further questions:
Do you have any timeframe for the .09 micron AMD processors?
Who makes the best computers with these high-processors in them?
Thanks, CMA
