This guy, gecs.com A tier 3 vendor, is offering this system on eBay: ================================================== THE ATHLON AMD K7 CPU'S HAVE ARRIVED. FEEL THE POWER OF THE ATHLON K7/650 CPU CONTAINING 128K L1 CACHE, AND 512K L2 CACHE, 200MHZ BUS, AND MULTI-PROCESSING CAPABILITIES. THIS COMPUTER WILL KICK BUTT!!! G.E.C.S. SELLS OVER 5000 PC'S PER YEAR TO OVER 25 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES! Athlon K7/650 CPU w/128K Level 1 and w/512K Level 2 Cache Floating Point Unit is 46% faster than the Intel Pentium III CPU's! 200Mhz mainboard bus speed Microstar Slot A mainboard w/AGP v4.0 and UDMA/66 support. HUGE Slot A Ball bearing heatsink/cooling fan. High Speed I/O Controller Built On (4 IDE, 2 serial, 1 parallel) 1.44MB floppy drive DVD-3 5X DVD, 32X CDROM drive DVD-ROM high performance DVD software three 168pin DIMM sockets ATX Form Factor 2 PS/2 Ports (1 mouse and 1 keyboard) 2 Universal Serial Bus Ports Mid Tower Case with 250watt power supply, ATX Format 128MB SDRAM DIMM 8ns 3.3v PC100 Diamond Viper V770 32MB AGP video card 4 speaker stereo surround sound support 450watt speakers P.M.P.O. with subwoofer Motorola PCI 56K modem voice/data/fax internal v.90 17.2GB UDMA/66 5400RPM Hard Drive 104 keys Windows 95 Multimedia keyboard Logitech Firstmouse+ PS/2 2 button Wheel Scroll mouse High end Lexan Mouse Pad Over 650MB of high quality software pre-installed! assembled, tested, and burnt in properly packaged for shipping purposes Windows 98 installed for testing and system verification only, then removed Lotus Smartsuite Millenium Edition v9.0 on CD FULL VERSION 2 years labor/1 years parts warranty Shipping done UPS 5 day insured ========================================== If AMD is making enough 650s to have then available at this level already, they probably have a good shot at getting another 100MHZ once they have a few more months of production experience under their belts. Maybe November 750s at some volume are possible. Jerry has said he's going to keep 25% below Intel clock-for-clock. Intel looks ready to keep cutting prices to maintain market share. Is there a risk that Intel will introduce its 700MHZ coppermine at something like $250 (and start paying OEMs to haul away the celerons and Pentium IIIs?) :-) What is the potential damage to Everybody's ASPs if this grudge match continues? I can't imagine that these two companies won't call a truce at some point - but at what point will that happen? Dan
