<< rumor has it that AMD may be releaseing some really fast Athlom MP processors soon. >>


Yes, but they prolly aren't going to be faster than the 1800+. The AthlonMP 1.2 GHz wasn't really faster than the 1.4 GHz T-bird that was already out, so I imagine they will probably stick to that same format for making MP releases. To answer the original question, yes.

<< well technically IBM's 1.3 Ghz whatever is

but on the consumer level yes

Sounds interesting - can I have a link? I'd like to read about this. :) IBM always makes such good stuff. :p

Anyway, I think the XP 1800+ will be the big boy on the AMD block for awhile. My guess is that the XP 1800+ will be the fastest AMD cpu till sometime in Jan.

Sure. Here's the thread I started about the 1.3GHz IBM Power4.
