IVGA Tests the Pentium P7 - 786/600MHz for NASCAR

Drivers: The IVGA is currently testing an INTEL Pentium Pro P7-600Mhz with NASCAR and we will have a report at the IVGA next week. This report will be emailed automatically to all members!! There are certain issues you have to be aware before you rush out any buy one... Don Wilshe, IVGA

Well, sorry, All I have is a lowly P5-166 with 64MB and a 4MB Matrox MGA. Seems to run Nascar good enough for Me. I guess I'm not as fussy as You are. Perhaps You ought to install SMARTDRV or something......

Stuart: No Joke here: I am just testing the new p7 from INTEL.. don

>No Joke here: >I am just testing the new p7 from INTEL.. So how do you get Nascar to run on a drawing board? ;-) Richard

Don, Please tell me how many people will be able to afford the newest Intel has to offer. I personally don't have $6000+ to blow on a new system.

I think calling it a Pentium Pro may have confused folks. I don't beleive they will use the Pentium or Pentium Pro name when they release the chip. I believe the preproduction code name on that one was Merced. And did I read right?? 600mhz?? What kind of Motherboard supports that?? Dave Henrie

Man, I'm impressed...IVGA is such a special group, I wish I were good enough ........ From all published industry reports the Klamath ( PPro with MMX ) may, MAYBE, by the end of its run, reach 300 MHZ. Youre tellin me the chip thats coming after the one they're developing now ( I really believe you have a piece of hardware, really I do...) is gunna double what Intel hopes to gain in speed by 1998 ? Yeah.......
