RE:"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." Because that's where the consumer demand for the Pentium IIIs is. They are perceived as mid-grade chips. OTOH, Intel is probably trying to force OEMs to higher MHZ Pentium IIIs so as to maximize profits. Of course we know what Gateway thought of that trick... Jim
