And if Hammer *isn't* innovative, I don't know *what* is.

Where do I buy one of those?

Yeah, Intel *did* finally add a heat spreader to some of the VERY LAST P-III designs - if I had a web cam I'd show you my 1 Ghz P-III that's FC-PGA design. There's a lot more of the non-heat-spreader P3s around than the ones that DO have a spreader, though - I'm not sure if even all of the Tulies have them.

As far as Hammer, sometime in April IIRC.

It depends on the application I must run... :)

Applications thet don't recognize SSE2 (the vast majority) run faster on AMD.

I don't think that you had to try, the "amd vs. intel" battle was waiting underneath the surface, just waiting to come out. I personally choose intel. I have my reasons, but just to ease some tension I can agree to disagree and move on. :D

I noticed the amount of AMD's on the GIMPS stats page is climbing for quite some time now. Whereas the total has remained more or less stable.

It's not that the AMD CPU count is rising all that much, but more that recent versions of the client recognise Athlons when older versions called them "unknown CPU type".

I'm *still* tyying to figure out the "7 Cyrix" listing on my personal stats - I don't run ANY Cyrix CPUS at all, though I do note that the number is pretty close to my count of AMD K5 cpus.
