Paul, re: lack of price reduction on Intel 600 MHz.
As usual for you, a tangential point. My main point is that even non-technical talk radio hosts know that AMD has the fastest available chips.

BTW, the reason Intel did not reduce their 600 MHz is because they are yielding so few of them that they will sell them all anyway.

Tomshardware reported that NONE of his 600 MHz PIII chips would run more than half a day at 650 MHz and only one of them could pass Winbench even once. This means that under spec level conditions (voltage 0.05 below spec and maximum temperature), they are barely making the 600 MHz grade).
