Everything AMD has manufactured after the excelllent 5x86 p75-133 cpu has been 
disapointing. They seem to be (almost) going down the cyrix route. They
no longer seem intent on improving their reverse engneering and instead
are fixated on low cost in house enhancements which are producing chips that 
are less & less compatable each generation. Intel can't be totally blamed
for this.
