PB, on CuMine speeds. Someplace today, I saw that the top speed for CuMine with 100 MHz FSB is only 600 MHz. That would mean that the 700 doesn't exist, and the likely initial speeds of the 133 FSB models are 666 and 733.

But these two chips will be hobbled by the requirement for using either i810e chipset (no AGP slot), i820 chipset (requires very expensive RDRAM or poor performing SDRAM conversion chip) or Intel lets VIA take over the chipsets for top speed CuMine systems.

There's a way out of this for Intel if the 700 MHz CuMine can be released with 100 MHz FSB. Do they intend to add this part to the CuMine release or would the performance with a 7X multiplier be too poor with only a 256K L2?
