WINDOWS XP SP2 EARLY IN THE SECOND QUARTER

Thanks, subzero, your post contained the most positive news for AMD that has happened in the last 2 months:

The circuitry is already inside existing Athlon 64 chips, but it can't be activated yet. That will occur when Microsoft releases Service Pack 2 for Windows XP early in the second quarter. By then, AMD also will have a catchy marketing name for the technology, Morris said.

Maybe AMD should rename their chip the Excaveron.
