albert, I have a simpler method for estimating the speed at which not many (maybe 15%) of the functional die can run successfully. It's the speed where there's a big breakpoint in price. Chips above that speed are so rare, that the manufacturer figures they might as well get as much as possible for them. Right now, P3-800 $321 P3-850 $486 P3-866 $512 (At thechipmerchant.com) Below 800 an extra MHz costs $1.00 or less, above 800 its over $3 per MHz. I say that means not many Intel CPU's run faster than 800. For Athlon's the price rise becomes steep above 900 or 950 with the new pricing. Petz
