RE:"I didn't even know such a part existed! There are no Floppermines slower than 600 MHz on pricewatch. Or were they talking about notebook chips, which wouldn't be listed there anyway? Petz" They were talking about P-III-450 Katmais (not coppermines) that Intel stopped offering during the quarter. Charles R. reported right here over a month ago that there was a shortage of low speed chips from Intel. Intel either stopped offering them because they wanted to get ASPs up or they took that fab space away to make way for the Floppermine launch, which as you know was a month or so late and a slow one at that... Possible that Intel got caught ramping the coppermine at the expense of the lower speed (Katmai) chips which created a vacuum. When they realized they still needed the Katmai they eliminated/(got tight with) the lower speed grades as a business decision. Jim Jim
