Ted - RE: "However, Gwennap said he believed that Intel was having a hard time making the 733 megahertz versions of the Pentium III."

Here's a conspiracy theory that favors Intel -

Maybe the 500 - 733 Cumines are made on the non-notched process which was only applied to a fab or two. Since 733s are "impossible" to get, it could be the max for this process. And these fabs may use this process to take over the lower MHz PIII production.

And maybe the other fabs Intel has are going to use the notched process and they are now ramping up. And if this notched thing is as good as the articles about it claim, Intel may be getting only 733s, 750s, and 800+ off this process.

This is complete speculation and the availibility of 750 and 800MHz Cumines may or may not support it.

What do you guys think, should I get a job for the FBI? ;)
