I know that they were _announced_ maybe two weeks ago, but the announcement was simply that they would be available later. Maybe later = now. >I know that for Rebel my AMD 233 specs out the same as a P300. I'm curious if >this gap holds for the newer versions of these processors? I think that on average, the Athlon and the CuMine are equivalent (for chess programs). Both processors have their strong points. It's mainly a question of the program's memory characteristic, because the integer units of the processors seem to be exactly as fast as e/o. -Tom
