The new one is called the Athlon 4. . . but it's not due out until middle-late September last I heard. Go ahead and get the 1.4, it's fine.-------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Well. . . sort of. I think with the Athlon though, it's because it's a forth generation core, rather than the forth generation of a CPU. I think that the Pentium has had about 7 different cores dating back as far as the PII, not to mention the many itierations of the PI and then there is the Pentium Pro.-------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Ummm. . . I'm sorry but it's not called Palomino. That's just the name of the new core design. Much like P3's use Coppermine and P4's currently use Tualatin(sp?).The new Athlon chip will be called the Athlon 4. AMD has actually already released a Palomino based chip, the Athlon MP. Q3 refers to the 3rd Quarter of the year in question, in this case it means the 3rd quarter of this year. Quarter refers to the fiscal(financial) quarter system. The year is divided into 4, 3 month sections. Q1 would be January to March, Q2 would be April to June, Q3 would be July to September and Q4 is October to December. The Athlon 4 is now slated to be released in middle to late September [ 07-11-2001: Message edited by: AcidWarp ] -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.
