wbmw, similarly to Intel not rushing the fastest P4 out there they might be able to right now, IBM, at some points in their history when they had competition for mainframes, but were in the lead in performance, was known to hold back a faster machine or two. They'd do it if they were sold out of what they were currently shipping (same with P4 now?). The market will only bear certain prices, so why give away the extra performance if you don't have to? They'd also have that machine waiting there to trump the chimps when they released a faster machine. Possible drawback? You may get complacent. To Jim, for the fifth time lately, it ain't easy (e.g. releasing a 2.6 GHz right now). Takes time, like Fin and mbmw are saying, tweaking and tuning. That's what steppings are all about. Tony
