Processor
The new Millennia MAX desktop offers the unparalleled performance combination of the latest Intel® Pentium® III processor and the new VIA Technologies chipset, the Apollo Pro 133A. This unique and powerful combination allows the Pentium III processors at 600B MHz or 533B MHz to maximize the new 133 MHz system bus with 512KB L2 cache for truly dazzling performance. With this dynamic pairing of the industry's latest processor and chipset technologies, the new Millennia MAX system is firmly positioned at the beginning of the next technology curve, guaranteeing performance to blaze through even the most demanding computing tasks today while offering flexibility, longevity, and upgradability for tomorrow's growing needs.

The Micron Millennia MAX uses PC100-, PC133-, and VC133-compliant SDRAM, short for Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, an industry-standard type of memory that synchronizes itself with the main system bus for increased speed, eliminating bottlenecks and streamlining performance. The speed gains are particularly noticeable on the latest systems that have a 133 MHz system bus.

I also believe the Intel i810e chipset which supports 133 FSB would be a decent configuration for business computers of a certain market.

In summary, I don't agree at all that 133 FSB Coppermines will be "unsellable".
