I assume you're just being silly, but I'll answer this anyway.

The Pentium III had a big head-start on the Athlon. Plus, AMD had a reputation
for not being able to ship processors en masse. Also, before the Athlon, it
wasn't 100% clear that AMD's processors were better.

Now everybody knows that the Athlon is superior, and that AMD can deliver.

9 out of the top 10 PC vendors have started selling Athlon systems.

Wouldn't it be a trip if they started outselling the Pentium...
