Chuck, <True, PIII sweet spot seems to be 500 or 550 but Athlon's sweetspot is 600 or 650.> I'm talking about the sweet spot that the consumers define, NOT the sweet spot that is defined by production yields or the MHz battle. Quoting from the article that you linked: ebnews.com ?[The] 800's are brutal, very tight,? said a purchaser at one top-tier OEM. ?But 733-MHz and 667-MHz [chips] are loosening up a little bit. Five hundreds are the tightest, with the 550's right behind them.? The tight supply of 800 MHz P3's are probably due to low production volumes, obviously. But why did the OEM say that 500's are the "tightest, with the 550's right behind them"? Perhaps that's where the consumer sweet spot is. Tenchusatsu
