Steve, re:<will the first Coppermines drop right in? [to my BX motherboard>

Nothing faster than 600 MHz, apparently, and certainly not 733. You have to use a 100 MHz FSB version of the CuMine unless you want to overclock your BX chipset and your AGP bus by 33%.

Intel apparently does not intend to release a 650 or 700 MHz CuMine, leaving that speed area to the 666 and 733 CuMine. They might change their mind, but I would expect a 256K full speed L2 cache to be inferior to a 512K half-speed cache -- when the multiplier is greater than 6.
