    I think this announcement represents a powerful blow in the Battle Against M$. Athlon has shown time and again that it supports Free Software, even as Intel loathes it. They consistently put out fast, affordable hardware that makes economy Linux boxen possible for small businesses and home users.

    Even if larger corporations stick with tried-and-true powerhouses provided by Sun, the 2200 XP is a nail in Wintel's coffin. Even the name "XP" evokes *n*x in a way that is sure to pay off.

    I predict a lot of major companies "going Linux" very soon!

    What I'M waiting for is the Athlon XP 2800+, which will probably be the first AMD chip to run at 2200 MHz.

    and the interesting thing is that my linux box (lame pentium 800, 192 ram) runs faster than many brand new athlon/p4 boxes with XP... :/

    As far as I'm concerned, the AMD Athalon XP is the Pentium 4's bitch. Intel is soo far ahead of AMD its insane. I have a few computers, and one of them runs on an athalon. That thing is the biggest piece of shat I have ever built/owned. For some reason, multi-tasking is a really big problem for this thing. NEVER buy an AMD, Intel is the only way to go.
